destined for the East Asia (China, Japan) In 1979, – 1.3 million elephants in Africa By 1989, only 600 000 remained Many blamed it on the increase in Ivory
demand In 1989 CITES (Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna) made the trade of ivory illegal

Opposition to the Ban Southern African Countries including
South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland
These countries struggle with too many elephants
Suggest culling (harvesting the sick and old) elephants to support community programs.

Revenue from those elephant tusks was used to build schools, wells and health clinics.
