偷猎大象的速度现在已经威胁到非洲种群的灭绝。查明非洲主要偷猎热点的数量和位置可能有助于结束偷猎和促进大象种群的恢复。我们从基因上确定了1996年至2014年间查获的28起大型象牙(≥0.5吨)的来源,并测试了分配的准确性。结果表明,非洲主要的偷猎热点目前可能集中在两个地区。在这两个热点地区加强执法可能有助于减少未来非洲大象的损失,并破坏这种有组织的跨国犯罪。
Poaching of elephants is now occurring at rates that threaten African populations with extinction. Identifying the number and location of Africa’s major poaching hotspots may assist efforts to end poaching and facilitate recovery of elephant populations. We genetically assign origin to 28 large ivory seizures (≥0.5 metric tons) made between 1996 and 2014, also testing assignment accuracy. Results suggest that the major poaching hotspots in Africa may be currently concentrated in as few as two areas. Increasing law enforcement in these two hotspots could help curtail future elephant losses across Africa and disrupt this organized transnational crime.
