From the Pavlovian group of the Gravettian culture, it was found at Dolní Věstonice, Moravia, Czech Republic. The carving matches the remains of a nearby woman who had a very special burial... And so some believe it is the oldest known portrait of a specific person. | Dan Davis - Author | Facebook

The global ivory trade is currently responsible for the slaughter of up to 35,000 elephants a year (that’s 96 elephants per day, or one elephant every 15 minutes). In protest, the USFWS National Wildlife Refuge System crushed more than one ton of ivory today in Times Square. #IvoryCrush | CNBC | Facebook
