Abstract

The article reports that the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species authority will allow China to bid at an auction of legal ivory from four African countries with stable elephant populations. The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), opposes the decision. Chinese officials have been cracking down on the illegal ivory trade, and it is thought that a fresh supply of legal ivory may depress the black market price.
