Ivory Wars: How Poaching Funds Terrorism

ZAKOUMA NATIONAL PARK, CHAD, 10 JANUARY 2015: Zakouma Rangers "Mamba Team 1" seen inside the park during one of their anti-poaching patrols. Driver Issa Idriss Adoum, wearing the brown shirt, lost his Ranger father in an attack which killed 6 Rangers in 2012. Those men were gunned down by Sudanese elephant poachers. Issa's uncle, his fathers brother, alerted a combined Chadian Sudanese border force and went into Sudan to retrieve one of the poachers who was involved in the killings. Issa refused a government pay out for the loss, stating it was a death that needed to be avenged through justice or death. The poacher was imprisoned in Chad but escaped and is rumored to have joined the Seleka, an C.A.R movement with connections to elephant killing. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Getty Images Reportage)
