Report by Dr Esmond Martin on an investigation into Sudan's ivory markets funded by Care for the Wild International.

”The data represented here complement a series of three earlier ivory market surveys covering Africa, South and Southeast Asia and East Asia. Quantitative detailed information such as this is pivotal to attempts aimed at assessing the scope and mechanics of international ivory trade, as well as determining trends, through reliable indicators. Because of a direct link between market demand and elephant poaching, this latest study of the ivory markets in Sudan has clear implications for the conservation of all elephants.”
