Elephants: advances in Brittany and Europe

27 Mar 2015

In the interest of bringing about reconciliation, the Dupont house is taking off the market items 109, 110 and 111, which consist of five elephant tusks of which three are from the last elephants of Niokolo-Koba National Park in Senegal. They were to be sold on Monday, March 30.

The ban on the exportation of elephant tusks from the European Union is well on its way. Forty-one national and international non-governmental organizations have written thereupon to the European ministers charged with the fight against the trafficking of threatened species. The French, English, German, Swedish, Austrian and Dutch ministers who already abide by this measure just wrote to their counterparts to encourage them to follow their lead.

Sulfurous auctioning in Morlaix, Finistère, Monday, March 30, 2015 at 2:30 p.m., 37 rue de Paris. Wildlife pollution is going to descend over the city at the beginning of the week. The Dupont house and its associates are organizing a garage sale of old taxidermies. All of the pillaged African wildlife will be brought together. The noticeable presence of a pretty monkey’s head with its mouth open – complete with original teeth – and a lion cub measuring 28 centimeters long.

But the center pieces are coming from the Niokolo-Koba National Park in Senegal. The personal collection of André-Roger Dupuy, the correspondent of the Museum of Natural History in Paris, head curator of the park from 1967 to 1974 and director of Senegal’s national parks between 1973 and 1987 – 20 years of a safari the hunting version rather than a photographic one – will finish by being dispersed.
