Reports of the death of American Esmond Bradley Martin, a campaigner against elephant poaching, as a result of stabbing in his Nairobi home (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/05/leading-ivory-trade-investigator-killed-in-kenya) is, I am afraid, only the latest apparent example of the dangers of working in such areas. Many campaigners in many areas of the world have become targets when their activities have threatened the profits of overtly and covertly criminal groups.
