Teetering on the Brink: Japan’s online ivory trade
In a promising new report, Teetering on the Brink: Japan’s online ivory trade, TRAFFIC finds that trade in ivory has dropped by as much as 100% this year on Japan’s largest online ivory trading platform, Yahoo Japan. It’s a highly welcome development considering the dangerous state of the nation’s ivory market revealed in 2017, but this resolve must become nation-wide and reinforced by government actions if Japan is to put an end to its role in the international ivory trade.
