Hard facts on elephant poaching?
I may have a chance to get the ear of a sort of Chinese celebrity who can influence millions of normal Chinese people.
I am going to ask him to spread the truth about where the ivory chopsticks and status trinkets actually come from and to do this I would like to have facts from a credible source about numbers of ele killed, number of rangers killed by poachers etc.
Any tips, links and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

Here is the link to CITES concerning elephants.
Hope this is useful.

Snowhound,
Elephant poaching is at a high for sure. There are so many dead elephant in some areas, the carcasses have had a net positive effect on the lion populations.

Ele are by-catch victims of the poor economy.
