Poaching drives 80 percent decline in elephants in key preserve

<https://phys.org/news/2017-02-poaching-percent-decline-elephants-key.html>

"Forest elephant populations in one of Central Africa's largest and most
important preserves have declined between 78 percent and 81 percent
because of poaching, a new Duke University-led study finds."

The disaster continues, unfortunately. Please support the wildlife and
elephant funds who are helping rangers fight back against the poachers.
