In the last 30 years, elephant numbers in Kenya have doubled thanks to anti-poaching efforts.
Globally, the situation of many of the world’s most endangered species is dire. A quick glance at wildlife crime statistics shows numbers that are nothing short of shocking:
Approximately 35,000 African elephants are killed each year.
The population of Asian tigers has decreased by more than 95% in the last century.
More than 128 tonnes of pangolin scales were intercepted in 2019 – a 200% increase from five years earlier.
