Gabon seizes 200kg of poached ivory in what could be biggest haul ever

Two men - including one who works for the Gabon's forest department - arrested after huge haul of ivory seized by authorities fighting poaching

The central African state of Gabon, home to half of Africa's endangered forest elephants, has impounded more than 200kg (440lb) of ivory in what may be its largest seizure ever.

Gabon is seeking to promote ecotourism and has poured money into protecting its 50,000 forest elephants, prized by ivory poachers for their particularly hard, straight tusks.
