The UK will impose a ban on ivory sales to help bring an end to the poaching of elephants, under plans announced by Environment Secretary Michael Gove. The proposals will protect elephants & help combat poaching by removing opportunities for criminals to trade illegally-poached ivory. These plans will be subject to a 12-week consultation and cover items of all ages, not only those created after a certain date. |
