泰国拦截了一艘史上最大象牙走私船。史蒂夫赫尔曼为您详细报道：

“ Thailand on Monday put on display 739 tusks of African elephants. They are from an illicit ivory shipment, weighing four metric tons, that was intercepted on Saturday at the port in Bangkok. Richard Thomas, global communications coordinator in London for TRAFFIC International, the wildlife trade monitoring network tells VOA this is a" very, very significant" seizure.

周一，泰国查获了 739颗走私非洲象牙，总重 4吨，走私货轮周六在曼谷港被截获。理查德托马斯，野生动植物贸易监测网络 TRAFFIC（国际野生物贸易研究组织）伦敦全球公关协调员，对美国之音记者表示：这是一次非常有意义的截获。

" Movements of this kind are very, very strongly indicative of organized crime.”

这种活动是非常典型的集团犯罪。

Thai authorities say the shipment, which was hidden in sacks of beans, originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo and was destined for Laos, making its likely final destination markets in China.

泰国官方表示这些象牙被藏在装豆子的麻袋里，这艘船从刚果国际共和国出发，驶向老挝，最终可能将这些象牙售往中国市场。
