Tanzania
Tanzania’s fabulous wildlife heritage is admired across the world, but its elephant population may have declined by as much as 60% during the poaching upsurge of the past decade. The worst of the poaching has been in the south and west of the country, with the Ruaha National Park and Selous Game Reserve both badly affected. Tanzania was a founder member of the EPI in 2014.
