Ivory stockpile grows

Zimbabwe’s ivory stockpile has rocketed to 42 000 kilos up from a previous record of 29 000 but the country cannot sell it due to a ban, reports said today. “At the moment there is a nine-year moratorium on the international sale of ivory from Zimbabwe, it will end in 2016,” Romana Nyahwa, acting director for Zimbabwe National Parks and Wildlife said. “But it is not definite that after 2016 we will be able to sell our ivory.”
