The only way to stop illegal killing of elephants is use the concept of ivory in a way where in its established that ivory trade is not lucrative, we know that Ivory from African elephats is not of good quality , they are brittle, the ivory from Asiatic elements are much sought after , you have to fight it in a different way , reduce the demand of Africa ivory in the market by targeting prospective buyers to make them understand that ivory from Africa is over priced and not up to the mark , instead Walrus tusks or other things are profitable

Thank you Saba!
U r great saba
I would just like to say well done for conserving a species that very few people have even heard of. Many people could live their lives without even knowing these animals existed, and that they were endangered, just like many of the more well-known species like elephants and rhinos. But all animals are important, no matter how obscure they are.
Keep it up man, wat you are doing is great
Thank you for your work saving this magnificent bird.
As lovely and desirable as ever!🙋♂️💘
