ZAKOUMA, CHAD – OCTOBER 2008: Chadian soldiers train before going on patrol in the bush of Zakouma National Park to stop the poachers attempting to kill elephants for their ivory on October 24, 2008 in Zakouma, Chad. The park is home to vastly diminishing elephant herds that have been ravaged by poachers over the last several years. It’s ground zero in the bloody ivory wars, where firefights between the protectors of the park and poachers on horseback leave many dead on both sides every year.
