File - In this February 2012 file photo released by Boubandjida Safari Lodge, the carcasses of elephants slaughtered by poachers are seen in Bouba Ndjida National Park, located in Cameroon near the border with Chad. Tighter security has been mounted to protect Cameroon's dwindling elephant population because intelligence shows that two gangs of poachers from Sudan are heading for the area, said WWF Cameroon conservation director Hanson Njiforti Tuesday, Dec. 4, 2012. In the first quarter of 2012, poachers traveled more than 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) on horseback from Sudan to reach northern Cameroon's Bouba Ndjida National Park, where they killed more than 300 elephants in two months. The killings represented about 80 percent of the parkâs elephant population. (AP Photo/ Boubandjida Safari Lodge, File)
