Although there is an international ban on ivory every day about 75 elefants are killed by poachers - 38.000 in a year (Sheldrake-Foundation, Kenia). China is the biggest customer - ivory is a status symbol for wealthy people, used for example for personal stamps. My hope: knowledge! Experts found out that a lot of chinese people do not know that elefants have to die for their ivory teeth - people think elefants are loosing their teeth like deers loose their antlers.
