May 10, 2013 - At least 26 elephants were massacred in the Dzanga Bai World Heritage Site in the Central African Republic (CAR) after 17 heavily armed suspected poachers entered the site on Monday, May 6th. WWF sources working in the area reported on Thursday that they had counted at least 26 elephant carcasses in and around the Bai, or “village of elephants.” Since the poachers arrived no elephants have been seen at the Bai, which was described as an “elephant mortuary” the sources added.
