    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the hon. Member for raising this question. But the answer I have given, more or less, indicates the efforts that KWS, as the Service that is responsible for protection of wildlife, is putting to make sure that poaching is curbed. But you have to note that, although we have deployed about 960 rangers all over the country, most of the elephants are not inside the protected areas. We also have a huge number of elephants that are outside the protected areas. We are also facing serious financial constraints. In the last three years, KWS has not been able to employ additional numbers of forest rangers. But it has done the much it can do. In addition to the answer that I have given, about 1,056 individuals have been arrested through intensified efforts and regular surveillance and a total of about 3,900 kilogrammes of ivory have been stock-piled. That large number of ivory has been recovered from poachers from different national parks and game reserves."
