Abstract:
On March 22, 2024, law enforcement officials from Mozambique’s Criminal Investigation Service (SERNIC) and the Tax Authority seized a container at Maputo port that was going to Dubai and contained 651 pieces of elephant ivory hidden in a shipment of bags of corn. Officials at a leading environmental non-governmental organization are trying to motivate Mozambique and Angola to take stronger steps to prosecute ivory trafficking.
