As rhino and elephant poachings continue at alarming rates across the Africa continent, in some countries the penalties for illegally hunting endangered species remain unchanged. Based on legislation enacted in 1976 and revised in 1989, Kenya s outdated wildlife laws haven t keep pace with unregulated-market values: in China, elephant tusks can bring an estimated at $900 per kilogram whereas the same amount of powdered rhino horn can fetch an astounding $65,000. Ivory seized by year, worldwide, from 2008 to 2012.xIvory seized by year, worldwide, from 2008 to 2012. ​​Confronted by what has long been described highly sophisticated and well-resourced international crime syndicates that use paramilitary tactics and employ game ranchers, hunters and veterinarians to acquire tusks and horns Kenya s fines are negligible when compared to the commercial stakes. Offenders caught with illicit game meat, for example, face fines of no more than $235 or a prison sentence of no more than three years, while those caught with illegal game trophies faces fines of no more than $120 and prison sentences not exceeding one year. In a world where the price of powdered horn competes with comparable amounts of heroin or cocaine, offenders have little to lose if caught. People just go into the court, they admit the offense, pay the penalties, give up what they were caught with and leave, says Helen Gichohi, president of the African Wildlife Foundation. They know if they are caught, there is going to be a slap on the wrist and they will be let go, and they can go and try again. The risk is very low compared to the size of the reward, she says, describing it as part of a Kenyan culture of impunity, where even basic driving laws go unenforced. What they are earning here is many, many times higher than they will ever be required to pay in a court of law. Harsher penalties, community engagement While the Kenyan Cabinet recently prepared new wildlife legislation for parliamentary review which, if passed, would apply stringent penalties Didi Wamukoya, chief prosecutor of the Kenya Wildlife Service, says adequate investigatory tools are also critical. Poachers, she says, often escape punishment due to poor forensic capabilities. Sometimes you have a carcass, then three months later ivory is recovered somewhere, but we do not have the capability of connecting that ivory with the elephant which died, she says. You end up charging the person with the ivory possession only you cannot connect him to the death of the elephant. Kenya recently broke ground on a new forensics laboratory that offers DNA analysis that will enable investigators to match seized ivory with a given carcass. While securing evidence against poachers will undoubtedly provide prosecutors an edge in court, World Wildlife Fund attorney Gladys Warigia says application of harsher laws and grassroots education is still essential. According to the newly prepared legislation, she says, fines for possessing trophies of endangered species could expand to as much as $58,000 and a minimum imprisonment of five years. Combined with efforts to raise public awareness about poaching in the local communities, she says, the new policies could combat the crisis. You put harsh penalties and maybe the strict enforcement of these laws, I am sure it will just go down, she says. <But> you involve the communities and sensitize them on the importance of wildlife to their lives and all that, the economy, I think that holistic approach will improve things. According to the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime, tens of thousands of African elephants are killed each year to supply the market with between 50 and 120 tons of ivory. An estimated 800 kilograms of illicit rhino horn reach Asian markets each year. Listen to report on poaching by Jill Craig Player cannot play this media Playlist

The World Health Organization says infertility rates around the world have remained relatively stable since 1990. Almost 50 million couples worldwide were unable to have a child after five years of trying. However, one region was a big exception. The WHO says infertility rates have declined in sub-Saharan Africa.(To listen to De Capua report click on link below) This study is measuring infertility rather than fertility itself. And the reason that we set out to try to determine what infertility levels were is because we found that it s a bit of a neglected area of reproductive health, said WHO statistician Gretchen Stevens, who led the study on infertility rates.It analyzed hundreds of household surveys in 190 countries from 1990 to 2010. She says it took a different approach than previous research. In general, people have worried quite a bit about getting people access to contraceptives so that they could prevent unwanted pregnancies. But they haven t worried as much about when couples are trying to become pregnant and aren t able to do so. This is actually a first study that looks at trends in infertility worldwide and in different countries. And we thought that this might be able to raise the profile of the condition, she said.The results were published in PLOS Medicine, an open access medical journal. The study measured primary infertility the inability of young women to have their first live birth and secondary infertility the inability the have another baby. For the most part, she said, <in> most regions of the world there wasn t very much change in infertility levels over time. But the big exception was actually sub-Saharan Africa, where we found there was a big decline in infertility levels. So primary infertility went from 2.7 percent of women in reproductive age in 1990 to 1.9 percent in 2010. And secondary infertility declined from 13.5 percent in 1990 to 11.6 percent in 2010. The study did not look into why infertility rates dropped in sub-Saharan Africa. We have some ideas, but we don t have any proof. So some studies have shown that in sub-Saharan Africa one of the main causes of infertility is the effects from sexually transmitted infections, such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. One of our hypotheses is that perhaps some of the changes in behavior that have come about from the response to the HIV epidemic might have actually gone towards reducing infertility rates, she said.Such behavior change would include greater condom use and other safe sex practices. The WHO researcher says improved obstetric care may also be a factor. That s because maternal mortality rates have fallen in sub-Saharan Africa. To be sure, however, Stevens said infertility studies would have to be conducted. Sometimes infertility is caused by female factors. Sometimes it s caused by male factors and sometimes both. And I think that culturally in many regions of sub-Saharan Africa there s been a tendency to blame the woman. But that shouldn t be the starting point, she said.Stevens added that she was surprised that the overall findings showed global infertility rates remained very stable. That s because in higher income countries there s been concern about environmental factors affecting sperm quality and about a growing number of older women having children. But the study found no evidence to support those factors affecting infertility rates.
