Poachers kill an elephant matriarch and her family in Kenya, prompting a call for help.
November 11, 2012 - New York Times
On October 27, Nick Brandt, a photographer and conservationist, photographed Qumquat, one of the best known matriarchs in the elephant population around Kenya’s Amboseli National Park, walking with two daughters, their young and other kin.
One day later, the old female and nearly all of the other elephants in this group were found slaughtered.
