The Politics of Ivory

update

In Africa, elephant conservation has always been threatened by the illegal ivory trade. This spring there was another new threat to the elephants when South Africa lifted its 13-year ban against culling. Officials announced plans to thin the herds by 5,000. Yet, animal advocates argue that elephants are an endangered species. VOA's Carolyn Turner reports on the background of the ivory politics.
