The elephant poaching problem is a particularly tough and disgusting problem. The vast majority of the poaching that is occurring today is fueled by the Chinese economic success and the fact that they are purchasing illegal ivory.

It was stopped because the elephant ivory was coming primarily to American, European and Japanese markets. A person got up and said, “We can’t do this, this is terrible,” in New York. And most people don’t know this.
