International wildlife experts have located hundreds of wild elephants on a treeless island in the swamps of south Sudan, where they apparently avoided unchecked hunting during more than 20 years of war. Environmentalists are keeping the location of the island in the Sudd area secret to prevent poachers from killing the animals.

International groups fighting the poaching of ivory accuse Sudanese officials of doing too little to stop a trade that is rapidly reducing the numbers of elephants in Africa. But in sprawling Sudanese markets where ivory curios are sold, merchants complain the wildlife authorities are too diligent, if anything. They accuse officials of harassment by carrying out checks to see if they are selling legal, antique ivory. They are wary of speaking to a reporter.

All manner of trinkets and goods are available in the famous market here, just north of Khartoum: broken pocket watches from the colonial era, camel whips, Koranic charms and swords from Sudan's ancient tribes. But it is the ivory figurines of naked women and elephants' tusks carved into crocodiles with gaping jaws that dominate.
