"GOD'S IVORY"
ZANZIBAR, TANZANIA, 19 MARCH 2012: The docks of East and Southern Africa have long formed an essential link in the smuggling of illegal Ivory from Africa to Asia. Last year in Zanzibar and Mombassa over 4 tons of illegal ivory were found in falsely labeled containers on their way to the Far East. It is estimated that for every illegal shipment found, at least another 20 make their past customs, often with the complicity of the customs authority. Zanzibar has been recognized as an ivory trafficking port for over 300 years.
