Suakin was a prosperous seaport in past centuries, an important center for ivory trade along the coast of the Red Sea. How did Suakin go from having a booming economy, beautiful architecture, and a rich culture to becoming an abandoned ghost town?

Alas!

Alas, this country denies, The seduction of the Afrikaans. The lingering thirsty drought still exists! Who could have missed? The slithering proposition of all time. No paper was written nor documents exchanged. Words of filth slipped through chained hands, Chains of humorous calls. And so began the fall… A cold season arrives as the promise ties. Not forever I am sure. Who can explain…

Conservation organizations hailed the protections for dozens of species of requiem sharks and rays, hammerheads and guitarfishes as “historic” and critical to protecting endangered and threatened species from the shark-finning trade. Requiem sharks include bull, sandbar and several species of reef sharks.

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora CITES also placed new restrictions on trade in glass frog species — which research says has gained popularity as a pet, possibly because of an appearance similar to Muppet “Kermit the frog.”

The organization also rejected a proposal to relax a trade ban on elephant ivory and rhinoceros horns.

In the case of both sharks and glass frogs, the measures protect not only declining and endangered species, but also their lookalikes. Shiffman said that's important in cases where they're difficult to tell apart.

Victory! 🐘

Canada has officially banned the elephant ivory and rhino horn trade, which includes the import of hunting trophies containing these parts!

@HSI_Canada has been at the forefront of the battle to protect these endangered species, working with Environment and Climate Change Canada to ensure these measures pass.

We also want to thank YOU and the tens of thousands of supporters who signed our action alerts to help make this happen.

Analysis of large numbers of ivory rings discovered in Anglo-Saxon burials has revealed that the ivory was sourced from African elephants. These must have been some important folk, obtaining goods all the way from Aksum!

My friend @ivorycowboy has an AU where the Last Dragonborn is like 8 years old and I love it

Anyway she does the Mind of Madness and is arguably Sheogorath's tiniest champion, have her with my edition of Sheo/HoK

Sheo turned out looking weird but oh well. From one Dunmeri world-savior to another

The amount of elephants and rhinos that have to be slaughtered in quests in zafaria is surely adding to their status as endangered species and putting all young wizards on a world wildlife fund watchlist

#I forgot just how often we have to kill those rhinos in this world holy hell is it a lot #the w101 ivory trade is looking good #sawyer rambles #w101 blogging

trying to decide if I’m feral enough to use my history knowledge to make a post on sex toys these vampires would have known through history

#listen armand would have seen things in the 15th century that make modern toys look plain and boring in comparison #as would lestat #the spring loaded contraptions in the 18th century were WILD #the ivory trade was a bad thing but god the things the georgians carved from it

Excerpt from this story from E&E News:

The arrest and extradition of a suspected ivory smuggler who prompted the State Department to offer an extraordinary $1 million reward marks another significant turn in a drugs-and-wildlife case that has spanned many years and borders.

Abdi Hussein Ahmed, indicted in 2019 but only taken into custody in his native Kenya last month, made his long-awaited first appearance in U.S. federal court yesterday. Listening to the proceedings with the help of a Swahili translator, Ahmed was arraigned and pleaded not guilty.

In May, the State Department announced it was offering rewards of up to $1 million each for information leading to the arrests, convictions or both of the 59-year-old Ahmed and another Kenya native, Badru Abdul Aziz Saleh.

According to Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations, an anonymous tip led to the Aug. 2 arrest of Ahmed in an early morning raid while he was hiding out in a rented room in the town of Maua.
