Success for the latest tool against wildlife trafficking
December 2010. Two suspects were arrested at Nairobi Airport with 101 ivory chopsticks weighing 900 gramme. The illegal cargo, found amongst 10 boxes on the way to Milan, was detected by Kenya Wildlife Service Canine Unit sniffer dogs based at the airport. The cargo had been disguised as handicraft and other ornaments.
The two arrested arrested are both Kenyan nationals. To combat illegal trafficking in wildlife trophies at Nairobi Airport, The Kenya Wildlife Service has deployed sniffer dogs at the airport on a full-time basis.
