In 1989, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) banned the sale of ivory, to feed a demand mainly in China, in order to fight poaching. Africa is home to about 415,000 elephants, the largest population in the world. Zimbabwe has 85,000 jumbos, double the carrying capacity, and conflicts with farmers are rising as elephants stray from parks to find food. Zimbabwe, Botswana and several other countries are demanding the right to sell their ivory stockpiles to use for conservation of growing elephant populations. Do you support Zimbabwe request ?
