A new study released Monday Aug. 18, 2014, by lead author George Wittemye of Colorado State University, found that the proportion of illegally killed elephants has climbed to about 65 percent of all African elephant deaths, accounting for around 100,000 elephants killed by poachers between 2010 and 2012.

Children displaced from their village by the recent attacks sit on a mattress next to their parents' belongings, at the Kitale-Mavuno Internally Displaced Persons camp where hundreds of residents from the villages of Kaisari, Pangani and Poromoko have taken refuge, near Mpeketoni on the north coast of Kenya Thursday, June 19, 2014. Kenya's top opposition leader Raila Odinga said Wednesday that a statement by the country's president Uhuru Kenyatta that local political networks were responsible for two days of killings that left 60 people dead, and that they were not carried out by the Somali militant group al-Shabab, trivialized the massacre and went against the conclusions of security experts and foreign governments.

Residents barricade a road with burning tyres and other roadblocks as they protest against the recent killings and what they claimed was the government's failure to provide them with enough security, in the village of Kibaoni just outside the town of Mpeketoni, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) from the Somali border on the coast of Kenya Tuesday, June 17, 2014. Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta, in a nationally televised address Tuesday, blamed political leaders inside Kenya for carrying out two nights of deadly attacks that killed at least 60 people in coastal communities, saying that despite claims of responsibility from al-Shabab, the Islamic extremists were not behind it.
