"The only way to save the world’s remaining elephants is to eliminate the global ivory trade, legal and illegal -- to permanently close all ivory markets and totally ban the ivory trade. Perhaps this is the light in which the 1989 ban is worth celebrating – knowing that a solution exists – and that it is within our grasp."

A permanent ban on all ivory trade seems to be the best policy overall. Populations of Elephants are declining all over the globe. Another step would be enforce laws and make new laws by including heavy prison time for anyone caught in the dealings of ivory, killings of Elephants.

TY, Katie.
