POACHING FOR IVOR,

!$. tons of ivory sei'ed worldwide, e(ually about !,###- ,### tusks of dead elephants. )rgani'ed crime has slipped into the ivory underworld, -- with the help of corrupt officials -- could move hundreds of pounds of tusks thousands of miles across the globe, using specially made shipping containers with secret compartments. Elephant ivory has always been the most highly sought because of its particular te*ture, softness, and its lack of a tough outer coating of enamel.

+eople who hunt them live in places where it is e*tremely hard to make a living. +oaching for ivory gives those people the opportunity to make a lot of money in a short amount of time.

The power of the idea of ivory is immense and no signs of waning. The more rare it becomes, the higher the demand.

,rushing an enormous amount of sei'ed ivory gave poachers wrong idea. -n their minds, the demand became higher and traders were willing to pay more.
