\nPrompted by WWF’s concerns about poaching, the organisation said, the Cameroonian ministry of forestry and wildlife organised the raids in tandem with the national military. A combined unit of soldiers, police and game rangers uncovered the bushmeat and also confiscated more than 30 guns from the suspected poachers.<\/p>\n

A municipal councillor based in the town of Moloundou, south of Nki National Park, was reportedly among those arrested. Three other known elephant poachers — a Central African, a Congolese and a Cameroonian – were arrested around the Boumba Bek and Lobéké national parks. <\/p>\n

The operation was carried out in targeted villages with the help of traditional rulers and the local population. The teams also conducted in-forest and maritime patrols, during which two elephant tusks, three elephant tails and parts of great apes were confiscated. <\/p>\n
