Setback for Dar as Hong Kong seizes $3.4m ivory Send to a friend http://www.thecitizen.co.tz/component/content/article/37-tanzania-top-news-story/26723-setback-for-dar-as-hong-kong-seizes-34m-ivory.html

As the country launches a fresh bid to sell its ivory stockpile, Hong Kong authorities have confiscated two shipping containers from Tanzania and Kenya loaded with jumbo tusks worth $3.4 million (about Sh5.4billion). This incident involving ivory weighing more than 3,628kg, could affect the country's attempt to release into the international market its huge stock.
Last week Tanzania announced that it had reapplied to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) to sell over 101,005kg of its ivory stockpile valued at over $55.5million (about Sh88.8billion) saying the money would be used to fund anti-poaching operations.
