“Tembo” means Elephant in Swahili.

Every day across Africa, poachers kill elephants to meet demand for ivory products in Asia, the U.S. and other markets. Around 90% of African elephants have been wiped out in the past century and Asian elephants are also under threat, having declined by at least 50% in the last three generations.
