15 PLANES AND 48.000 SQUARE CHILOMETERS OF BUSH.
ONE WEEK OF COUNTLESS OURS OF FLYGHT WITH THE PURPOSE TO COUNT WHATEVER IS ON THE GROUND. THE MAIN TARGHET WAS A FRESH COUNT OF THE ELEPHANT POPULATION OF THIS VAST ECOSYSTEM. SADLY THE RESULT IS NOT THE BEST ASPECTED: 11.000 ELEPHANT COUNTED, COMPARED WITH THE 12.573 OF THE LAST CENSUS THREE YEARS AGO.
IF IT IS TRUE THE FACT THAT THIS AREA IS HAVING A CERTAIN KIND OF STABILITY, IT IS ALSO TRUE THAT A LOSS OF ABOUT 1.500 ELEPHANT IS SHOWING HOW BADLY AFFECTED IS THE ELEPHANT POPULATION BY THE OUT OF CONTROL POACHING AND ILLEGAL IVORY TRADE.
