Subject: [SDI-Africa] front-page NYTimes article on elephant poaching...

excellent, in-depth article about the scope of elephant poaching in Africa ... It makes recent
 discussions of monitoring, via drones, "sensorweb", etc for enforcement, and sustainable value propositions for local communities, that much more imperative.
