| Hai Phong authorities incinerated 615 kilograms of African elephant tusks on Oct. 23 after seizing them in a 2023 smuggling case. Hai Phong Port Customs and city police inspected two suspicious containers on Feb. 2–3, 2023, and found the ivory hidden among more than 30 tons of African cow horns. Forensic tests later confirmed the tusks came from Loxodonta africana, the African elephant species protected under Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). |
