Elephant Facts  Average elephants live up to years old  Tusks weight 60 – 100 lbs at 60 years  Gestation (pregnancy) is 22 months  Live in large herds, the oldest matriarch is the boss  Eat approximately 150 kgs of vegetation every day Source: Dr. Mike Loomis – North Carolina Zoological Park

The Ivory Trade  Majority of ivory is leaving Africa and destined for the East Asia (China, Japan)  In 1979, – 1.3 million elephants in Africa  By 1989, only remained  Many blamed it on the increase in Ivory demand  In 1989 CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna) made the trade of ivory illegalillegal

Supporters of The Ivory Ban  Eastern African Countries  Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda are dependant upon tourism and safaris generate large amounts of income  44% of Tanzania’s land base is national parks  Safaris generated over $1.7 billion (2011) for Tanzania  People want to see the big five, buffalo, lion, leopard, rhinoceros and of course elephants

Kenya Ivory Burning In protest of the Ivory Trade - the Kenyan government rather burn their ivory, then have it sold illegally.

Opposition to the Ban  Southern African Countries including South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland  These countries struggle with too many elephants  Suggest culling (harvesting the sick and old) elephants to support community programs.

 The Campfire Program Until 1989, Zimbabwe granted locals permission to kill a certain number of elephants.  Revenue from those elephant tusks was used to build schools, wells and health clinics.  Trophy Hunting In Zimbabwe, a family of 8 can subsist on $230/year. A 21-day hunt brings $ into the local community
