Do you dare to dig a job like "the carcass" of 10 million a year?

Under the permafrost of Siberia, the mammoth remains of gold are buried in the permafrost, and many remains are well preserved. But in recent years, poachers have now stared at the fat, but it's not easy to find a mammoth that is buried underground.

The poachers dodged the forest and went into the mainland of Siberia. There are often bears and other wild animals, and mosquitoes with the plague will kill them at any time. But as long as we find ivory, everything is worth it.

A 65 kilogram Ivory can be sold for $34000, a rhino horn can be sold to $14000, and the horn of Vietnam rhino can be grinded as a drug for sale.

Poachers use sticks to ascertain whether in deepening the underground treasure underground, if there is any bones below, they will dig three feet. After entering the underground, the high pressure water gun is used to impact the frozen soil layer, and the ivory is found.

The poacher told the photographer that he had found dozens of ivory once, and felt as if he had opened a treasure house.

It is not only buried in the mammoth, but also the horns, the buffalos and the musk cattle.

The poachers exposed feet, fierce mosquitoes was full foot immediately. They are here to stay for several months, sometimes may be lost. But sometimes the return is very rich.

The poachers' random theft and dug have seriously damaged the environment in Siberia. Where the appearance is perfect, the underground is empty. Randomly pumping water, causing the river to dry up, and sometimes in order to deepen the underground, they will use explosives.

But even so, there are still more and more people joining this unlawful excavation. From 2015 to 2016, the population of Siberia, near the Arctic region, has increased dramatically. Most of these people are Ivory merchants and robber diggers.

High pressure pump water into the weapon they dug, the frozen layer dissolved in water cannon erosion, hiding the mammoth body exposure. From the tundra to the mall, more than 90% of the mammoth ivory unearthed in the permafrost region of Siberia were eventually sold to China.

And these people to continue to expand the area of erosion fling caution to the winds, sometimes the whole mountain was destroyed, all the surface vegetation damage, will soon become the bare hills.

The rivers are now seriously polluted and the river is chocolate - colored and seriously damaged by the local ecology.

Although the police have been hunting for these thieves, but here it is difficult to find and with much land and few people,... What is worse, the law caught a thief only fined $45, caught 3 times will be sentenced, compared and sold once Ivory can earn high profits, it is what?

A Ivory Hunter said, "I know it's bad, but what should I do? I don't have a job, and I have a lot of children. " Ivory in China has a long history, but since 1990, "no teeth" issued after no longer imported ivory, ivory carving skills shortage of raw materials, lost face dilemma. The mammoth is extinct, has not killed, in addition to the high quality of mammoth ivory solid texture fine, color soft and smooth, so the mammoth ivory gradually become precious raw materials in China ivory carving new.

At the same time, mammoth ivory instead of modern ivory, has become a priority choice of accessories wenwan. But as the excavations are less and less, the price will get higher and higher. So, the mammoth ivory of the playmates, cherish the hands of the hard won baby it!
