Civil Guard Highlights Major Ivory Seizure in Spain

Two Guardia Civil officers show one of the largest seizures of ivory pieces in Spain, at the Guardia Civil Command of Valencia, on August 4, 2025, in Valencia, Valencian Community (Spain). The operation began when in October 2024 an unusually high traffic of ivory pieces was detected in the province of Valencia. The agents located a trading company in Valencia where 127 ivory pieces of different sizes, carved in a minimalist style, mainly with Asian aesthetics, were exhibited. It was also found that these pieces were made from African and Asian elephants, both of which are legally protected under the CITES convention. Photo by Rober Solsona/Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM

Thanks to uncompromising environmental and wildlife protection efforts, the population of wild Asian elephants in Yunnan has been growing in recent years.

Once an elephant is found near a village, members of the squad would rush in, and deter it in a non-voilent manner. But if they fail to do so, cordon signs would be placed on site and warning messages would be sent to the villagers. While staying indoor to avoid confrontation with these naughty giants, vill

Besides, a total of 14 large wildlife passages and 79 bridges have been set up along the entire railway in consideration of the living habits and migration paths of wild animals. Large animal passages with the height of over 6.5 meters were constructed beneath the track for large animals such as elephants and giraffes to get through.
