Tue, 7 Sep 2010  Congo police arrest 3 men carrying elephant ivory
Fake elephant tusks made of PVC pipes, left, which were used to replace stolen original tusks, and the real ones, right, can be seen inside a storage room at the Parks and Wildlife office at Manila's Quezon city Wednesday March 3, 2010, in the Philippines. A Philippine wildlife officer is suspected of stealing more than 1,500 pounds (700 kilograms) of smuggled elephant tusks seized last year in an embarrassing setback for the country's anti-poaching efforts said Parks and Wildlife Director Theresa Mundita Lim. The stolen ivory worth $65,000 was part of of a 8,000-pound (4,000 kilograms) shipment of tusks that was impounded at Manila airport last July and turned over for disposal to the Government's Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau.
