American Ivory: New Rules in the USA to Stop Elephant Poaching - Bryan Christy

Poaching and Eastern demand for ivory has recently decimated the number of African elephants, but one of the largest ivory-consuming countries has just put in some new laws to help slow its illegal import. Bryan Christy says that the United States government added a requirement forcing shop owners to prove that the ivory they are selling is antique, rather than a recent illegal import. Christy also says that there are new limits on how many elephant trophies sport hunters can import annually.
