Photo from Facebook page of Elephant Conservation CenterLaos was once called the "land of a million elephants' but today elephant population has been reduced to several hundreds because of poaching and illegal ivory trade.
Picha kutoka ukurasa wa Facebook wa Kituo cha Hifadhi ya TemboLaos hapo awali ilijulikana kama "ardhi ya mamilioni ya Tembo' lakini hadi sasa idadi ya Tembo imeshapungua hadi kufikia mamia kadhaa kutokana na uwindaji haramu pamoja na biashara haramu ya pembe za ndovu.
