A British wildlife photographer has captured the scene on Monday (2 Mar) as rangers tended to a dead elephant in the Kenyan conservancy of Naboisho. Paul Goldstein documented the removal of the tusks to prevent them being passed into the ivory trade. This elephant had died of natural causes. Paul also commented on the damage a lack of tourists has on such an area, where tourism income can support the local economy and help pay for rangers. The watchful eyes of guides and tourists also help keep poachers at bay. FULL WORDS & QUOTES AVAIL: INFO@COVERMG.COM Paul says: ??sIn a Kenyan Conservancy like Naboisho where this was photographed, there is protection, donor money and a dedicated team of rangers who are still being paid, but they, like the elephants and other species, need tourists, they do not need bureaucratic and ludicrous restrictions on travellers. Every time the UK or other governments throw another misguided punch to the beleaguered travel industry, it casts the millions connected with wildlife tourism further into penury. It is also responsible for an increase in poaching.??? Where: Naboisho, Kenya When: 02 Mar 2021 Credit: Paul Goldstein/Cover-Images.com **Editorial Use Only**
