Another editorial on the recent paper by Dr. Bennett. The author examines both sides of the argument, but here are some key points: Six of the eight countries identified by CITES as the worst offenders in global ivory trafficking are among Transparency International’s most corrupt countries. In effect, corruption and organized crime undermine legal markets for ivory by allowing dangerous loopholes in the chain. There is one crucial point on which pro-wildlife groups agree: Long-term conservation will only occur if demand changes. All things considered, stopping the trade of ivory seems like a no brainer.
