NAIROBI, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Conservationists petitioned Tanzania on Monday to
end elephant trophy hunting in a vast wildlife reserve area that spans its
common border with Kenya.
About 2,000 elephants, including the "super-tuskers," so called because of their
large tusks, roam the wildlife conservation range known as Amboseli National
Park on the Kenyan side and Enduimet Wildlife Management Area on the Tanzania
side.
Unlike Kenya where trophy hunting is illegal, Tanzania allows sport hunting of
elephants for prized tusks and issues permits for the activity. That has
resulted in instances where hunters killed Kenyan elephants from across the
border.

"The loss of these elephants is not just a blow to elephant populations but to
our collective efforts in conservation," Cynthia Moss, founder of the Amboseli
Trust for Elephants, said.
The petition by more than 50 Africa wildlife conservation organisations, was
also backed by 500,000 signatures.
Only 10 super-tuskers with tusks weighing around 45 kg each remain in the
Amboseli ecosystem, which has the highest density of these animals, according to
conservationists.

"Hunting could cause the super-tuskers to disappear within the next three
years," according to the petition.
In 1995, both the East African neighbours had agreed that Tanzania would stop
issuing hunting permits on its side of the reserve after hunters killed Kenyan
elephants on the Tanzanian side.
However, in 2022 Tanzania started issuing permits again, the petition said.
