A reminder of Africa's persistent elephant-poaching problem came on Friday, when Tsavo Trust confirmed that a 45-year-old elephant named Satao, living in Tsavo East National Park in Kenya, was found killed by poachers on May 30th. William K. Kiprono, of the Kenya Wildlife Service, says a regional center has been set up to combat wildlife poaching and trafficking: http://feeds.mashable.com/~r/Mashable/~3/Br8WB1Fm5qY/ http://www.wochit.com
