Confiscated hippo teeth pictured with an AK47, the weapn of choice for hippo poachers. Hippos are being targeted every day, poached for their meat and teeth. Demand for hippo teeth has led to a significant decline in their population, with over 50% lost nationally in recent years, driven by the ivory trade for their teeth. Rangers are working overtime to protect them on land and along the rivers systems and lakes. Photo: Paul Hilton / Earth Tree Images
