Tanzania's government is backtracking on a contentious decision to abolish a prohibition on wildlife exports.
The order to lift the embargo was just revealed two days earlier, and campaigners were quick to condemn it.
The law was passed in 2016 to assist prevent poachers from smuggling protected animals out of the nation.
Exports were supposed to be allowed for six months so that traders could "clear inventories of animals" that they couldn't sell.
Pindi Chana, Tanzania's Minister of Tourism and Natural Resources, said the restriction will be reinstated until a new decision was reached.
Tanzania is well-known for its popular wildlife safaris, which attract a great number of visitors.
