The Ivory Trade Ban

Under the sultry African sun, a small group of elephants wiped out the grassy prairie in the wind. Some calves are bouncing off the mother 's knees. Before the bloody scene develops, this peaceful vision is just a quiet moment. This small flock is unaware that the poachers are quietly following them with intense intent. This elephant group has plenty of "platinum". These poachers pursue only one of the elephants.

The decision to ban Asian ivory trade is almost controversial. However, the seeds are still threatened by ivory transactions, and many environmentalists support the African ivory ban. Determination of trading of target teeth affected Asian elephants. For complex sculptures, Asian ivory is usually the first choice. London illegal wildlife trading meeting was held on February 12th and 13th 2014. The purpose of this conference was to recognize that "the significant scale of illegal trade in wildlife and harmful economic, social and environmental influences, make political commitments such as the following" and cooperate with the international community It is to end the goal. "

However, in 2016, China and Hong Kong promised ban, respectively, by the United States that ranked second in ivory trafficking and prohibited all commercial transactions, in particular 2017 and 2021 respectively. Its domestic trade this happened after the move 007 in IUCN, which was passed in September and called to all the countries to end all domestic trade. This clearly shows that the world is in a unified position - especially from China, which is the main factor of demand. This prohibition represents a remarkable demonstration of China's political will and is the best movement the international community wants. If this policy is fully implemented, it will be a different world for the elephant.
