High-tech collars used to save tusks

With ivory commanding thousands of dollars in Asia, elephants in the wild face extinction

As elephant poaching in Africa by organized criminal gangs using high-tech equipment rises, those working to stop their extinction in the wild have turned to technology too.

In the remote wilds of northern Kenya's Samburu reserve, the latest technology from US Internet giant Google creates three-dimensional maps using data from satellite-tracking elephant collars, providing security for the animals in the short term, and helping protect their habitat in the long term.
