botswana is home to africa's largest elephant population with around 150000 the number is growing in some areas there have been deadly encounters between humans and elephants in may but want to lifted a 5 year hunting ban now the country's going a step further by pushing for limited ivory trade at the world wildlife conference in geneva scientists fear that could also lead to more illegal trade in ivory. we know that within africa we really struggle to control trade of products like wildlife and we struggle to sort of monitor it and regulate the legal side of things and we cannot we are not stopping the illegal side of things i mean it's theoretically possible that poaching could get worse and of course and that that's why that's a worse outcome for elephants effective controls are needed to ensure that only tusks from legal haunting are traded but countries with rampant corruption often lack such oversight and that could worsen the plight of elephants. coming up after the break it's the bundesliga show with all the goals from the 1st sunday of the season and a look at those big tran

if you look at botswana, where people tend to fly, rather than drive, and you do high end, low throughputg people quality jobs, then tourism is a positive thing for natural resource governments. if you don't control it, if you let it get out of hand, as anything, whether it's agricultural, forestry, whatever... well, that's interesting. what you keep coming back to is the need for responsible governance, for clever and responsible government. why should we believe, even though you have nowjoined the government, that gabon is capable of that sort of governance, given that, right now, the president, your boss, is, according to many in your own country, incapable of fulfilling his job. we believe he had a stroke late last year. he's rarely seen in public. you're one of the last people seem pictured with him in public. so let's get your view. it is president ali bongo fit to govern your country? he is. he's weakened by his stroke. he is walking like an old man, if you saw the images of him at the independence day. mentally he's... i would say, it's actually interesting. mentally, the french s

zimbabwe and botswana are major exporters of elephants to different zoos around the world but the bigt? it is hard to speak for exactly why the countries who did oppose this did but what they said on the floor during the debates was that there was a concern that because these will be appendix two elephants, that they will have more protection and there will be stricter regulations than appendix one elephants. that was the argument given on the floor. why not a total ban? a mere ban could still have loopholes. we believe that for entertainment purposes this is a ban on the trade of wild elephants. i cannot imagine any situation that would be deemed acceptable or appropriate, even with the amendments, that would allow for the trade of these elephants for the use of entertainment. why it is being considered a near ban is that in extraordinary situations, emergencies or extraordinary situations, there could be an argument, a case made to move some elephants out of an in situ situation, an arranged state and into an ex situ situation such as in europe or the us. this is a landmark decision

the steepest falls although southern african countries — where giraffe numbers have held up — like botswanatting the title of silent extinction. over the title of silent extinction. over the past 30 years or so around 40% population declined and there are nine sub species of giraffes and out of then few were already listed as endangered. for example in kenya and tanzania. that is why scientists or conservationists are worried that if this trend continues then soon, and also the fact that the global conservation organisation with the d raft conservation organisation with the draft as general, vulnerable a few yea rs draft as general, vulnerable a few years ago. so you have all of these happening and therefore it is called some kind of silent extinction. with this new regulation what will happen now? but they are saying basically is, this is about tracing and tracking trade. i was surprised friend since you know that even in europe for example the people go out to buy and there are pillows and self was far from draft. and that demand has an impact on these animals. as a result, this internati
