  14. The Ivory Trade • Majority of ivory is leaving Africa and 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 ivoryillegal

  15. Supporters of The Ivory Ban • Eastern African Countries • Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda are dependant upon tourism and safaris generate large amounts of income • 44% of Tanzania’s land base is national parks • Safaris generated over $1.7 billion (2011) for Tanzania • People want to see the big five, buffalo, lion, leopard, rhinoceros and of course elephants

  16. Kenya Ivory Burning - 1989 In protest of the Ivory Trade - the Kenyan government rather burn their ivory, then have it sold illegally.

  17. 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.

  18. The Campfire Program Until 1989, Zimbabwe granted locals permission to kill a certain number of elephants. • Revenue from those elephant tusks was used to build schools, wells and health clinics. • Trophy Hunting In Zimbabwe, a family of 8 can subsist on $230/year. A 21-day hunt brings $ 50 000 into the local community
