natgeomuseumAnother day, another exhibit in the MOE to obsess over. James' favorite item right now is a fake elephant tusk, and we don't blame him, because it has a real impact on protecting elephants around the world. 🐘 Investigative journalist and National Geographic Explorer Bryan Christy embedded this specially created tusk with tracking devices to research the illegal poaching industry. The result? Learning how to better protect the 30,000 African elephants threatened by the poaching industry. You can learn more about Bryan's work and see the engineered tusk for yourself at the MOE. And make sure to say hi to James when you visit! #Museum #Elephant #Conservation #Poaching #Ivory
