___________________________ Steve Herman has details: "Thailand on Monday put on display 739 tusks of African elephants. They are from an illicit ivory shipment, weighing four metric tons, that was intercepted on Saturday at the port in Bangkok. Richard Thomas, global communications coordinator in London for TRAFFIC International, the wildlife trade monitoring network tells VOA this is a "very, very significant" seizure. "Movements of this kind are very, very strongly indicative of organized crime." Thai authorities say the shipment, which was hidden in sacks of beans, originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo and was destined for Laos, making its likely final destination markets in China.
