Using Chinese Star Power to Fight Ivory Poaching in Africa
Posted on 05 September 2012.
China is the biggest market for illegal ivory from Africa. In an effort to stop the slaughter of elephants by poachers, celebrities like basketball player Yao Ming and environmental groups are teaming up to educate the Chinese public about the costs of poaching, with the hope that reducing demand could reduce the supply. Internet and tourism campaigns target Chinese citizens and visitors to African countries like Kenya. Many Chinese surveyed by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, for example, reported not knowing that elephants were killed for their tusks, and 80 percent of those surveyed said such facts would prevent them from buying ivory in the future. Postal workers in China are trained to recognize suspect packages, and penalties for smuggling are being strengthened.
Through star power and education, animal rights advocates hope to stem the demand for ivory once and for all. – YaleGlobal Celebrities lend support to endangered elephants Mike PflanzThe Christian Science Monitor, 5 September 2012Rights:© The Christian Science Monitor. All Rights Reserved.
