Acclaimed [...] ... Source: www.policybytes.org --- 25 days ago
In a new op/ed featured today in South Africa’s Business Day , IPI senior fellow George Pieler and International Affairs Forum editor-in-chief Jens Laurson discuss how the legal Trade of Ivory benefits, not harm, elephant populations through the basic economic principle of property rights. An excerpt: AFTER nearly 20 years, Ivory Trade is legal again. This is good news for callous lovers of exotic trinkets or traditionalists among pianists, but hardly a reason for elephants to celebrate, you might think. Somehow it’s not more comforting to know that China, quickly becoming the premier neocolonial force in Africa, is a key reason why the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (Cites) has allowed the export of 110 tons of Ivory. ... ...

http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/005405.html http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-07/uow-ipa073108.php ---Quote--- African elephants are being slaughtered for their Ivory at a pace unseen since an international ban on the Ivory Trade took effect in 1989. But the public outcry that resulted in that ban is absent today, and a University of Washington conservation biologist contends it is because the public seems to be unaware of the giant mammals' plight. The elephant death rate from poaching throughout Africa is about 8 percent a year based on recent studies, which is actually higher than the 7.4 percent annual death rate that led to the international Ivory Trade ban nearly 20 years ago, said Samuel Wasser, a UW biology professor. But the poaching death rate in the late 1980s was based on a population that numbered more than 1 million. Today the total African elephant population is less than 470,000. ...
