Saving Wildlife- Ausia Jones
Julius Lokinyi was one of the most notorious poachers in this part of Kenya, accused of single-handedly killing as many as 100 elephants and selling the tusks by the side of the road in the dead of night, pumping vast amounts of ivory into a shadowy global underground trade. Julius persuaded others around him to give up poaching elephants. He is working with other poachers to p bring peace to the Savannas. I think it's great that he is trying to bring peace to the Savannas. It's awesome that he's helping the population of elephants.

Wow, I did a current event about the poachers last week. It's so terrible how they're killing animals for money.
