> PRESS

> NEWS"The
> Queen of Ivory", a Chinese national, arrested by a
> specialized Task Force in Tanzania. To date, she is the most
> important ivory trafficker ever arrested in the
> country.Dar-es-Salaam,
> 8 October 2015 – A specialized wildlife
> trafficking unit under Tanzania's National and
> Transnational Serious Crimes Investigation Unit (NTSCIU)
> arrested a number of high-level Chinese ivory traffickers
> led by a woman who is now thought to be the
> most notorious ivory trafficker brought to task so
> far in the war against elephant poaching. She is
> believed to be behind the trafficking of a huge quantity of
> ivory over the last several years.The
> woman, now dubbed the "Queen of Ivory", is a Chinese
> national named Yang Feng Glan, 66, and has been followed by
> the Task Force for over a year. She recently
> disappeared from Tanzania, moving to Uganda, but returned
> one week ago, when the Task Force swiftly moved and arrested
> her. After confessing to many of her crimes she has been
> taken to the high court of Dar es Salaam facing a maximum
> sentence of 20-30 years imprisonment.Mrs. Yang Feng Glan is
> originally from Beijing and is a wealthy woman, owning at
> least several houses, a farm, a restaurant, and three cars.
> According to the first information collected by the Task
> Force, she first came to Tanzania in the 1980's working as
> an interpreter and she has been trafficking ivory since at
> least 2006, working with the most high-ranking poachers in
> the country and in the region. She is connected to various
> companies abroad, all Chinese-owned, and circulates in the
> upper echelons of Chinese citizens living and working in
> Tanzania.Tanzania has been the
> ground zero of elephant poaching in East Africa for the past
> several years, having lost 85,000 elephants between 2009 and
> 2014, according to a recent elephant census in the country.
> A slaughter of industrial proportion such as this cannot
> have happened without the involvement of high profile,
> corrupt individuals and government officials at the two
> ports of Dar-es-Salaam and Zanzibar, and elsewhere in civil
> society."It's the news that we
> all have been waiting for, for years", commented Mr.
> Andrea Crosta, co-founder of the Elephant Action League and
> WildLeaks. "Finally, a high profile Chinese trafficker is
> in jail. Hopefully she can lead us to other major
> traffickers and corrupt government officials. We must put an
> end to the time of the untouchables if we want to save the
> elephant"."Everyone she has been
> dealing with will now become a target for law
> enforcement," concludes Crosta.Source:
