:02:22. > :02:23.Well, a competition in Japan has kicked off, where ordinary

:02:24. > :02:31.people can design and send in their own creations.

:02:32. > :02:37.Becoming one takes a lot of training, as Newsround's Leah

:02:38. > :02:40.found out a few years back when we sent her to

:02:41. > :02:52.The winning designs will be selected by children

:02:53. > :03:02.The winner announced in March next year.

:03:17. > :03:26.The British Army are helping park rangers in parts of Africa

:03:27. > :03:29.to protect elephants there from poachers,

:03:30. > :03:31.who are hunting them for their ivory tusks.

:03:32. > :03:40.These forest elephants are under threat, all because of their tusks.

:03:41. > :03:42.They live in Gabon, a country on the coast of Africa.

:03:43. > :03:45.Most of Gabon is covered in rainforest - stretching

:03:46. > :03:47.for thousands of miles - and most of Africa's forest

:03:48. > :03:52.But poachers want their tusks, which are made of ivory,

:03:53. > :03:56.so they can sell them for lots of money.

:03:57. > :03:59.It's thought 30,000 elephants have been poached in the last ten years,

:04:06. > :04:07.Even though there's a worldwide ban on the sale of ivory,

:04:08. > :04:10.there's still an illegal trade, and poachers can make a lot

:04:11. > :04:15.But the British Army hopes it can help to tackle the problem.

:04:16. > :04:19.Gabon has a real high density of forest elephants.

:04:20. > :04:22.That's why it's got a poaching problem.

:04:28. > :04:34.They are training park rangers on how to find poachers hiding

:04:35. > :04:36.in the forest and help get the evidence they need to get

:04:37. > :04:45.Poaching is a huge problem here but it is hoped

:04:46. > :04:47.that the training the British Army are giving can make
