I am always wondering why the news shows pictures that are blurred of clips with a lot of blurring... If they don't want that the public see things, don't show the pics or clips

Poaching and encroachment are the Elephants worst enemies. 

I understand that they are afraid if bees - perhaps the DNP should start experimenting with recordings of bee swarms.
