The International Council for Game and Wildlife Conservation requests the owners of ivory, in particular of hunting trophies with known origin and age, to support a research project. The project will assist law enforcement agencies in the fight against elephant poaching and ivory smuggle. At the same time, it can facilitate future ivory trade along the lines of CBD’s goal of sustainable use of natural resources.

Yeah, I just saw that. It was good when I first posted this, then stopped working a few minutes later. Beats me.

Unless I'm missing something here, why can't they just obtain the needed records from the countries that have legally exported the ivory trophies? After all, I seriously doubt that anyone with questionable ivory would participate in such a research project.

You guys are paranoid. The CIC is a great organization.

i would still be hesitant about just handing that sort of information over- if that info goes missing then boy the new age poacher would only need to get his evil hands on that and well stealing ivory from a house is a lot easier than having to track elephant and kill them

I don't think they're interested in where your tusks are now; just where the kill was.

Yes, paranoia... we can't moan about poaching one minute and then do nothing to support anti-poaching efforts the next.

quote:
As there are still not enough ivory samples throughout the African elephant’s distribution range available for the project, the FANC and the CIC would like hereby to ask for further assistance.

Origin of ivory project: samples of 0,25 gram are only needed. They can be taken from inside the nerve-canal or from the base without damaging the tusk. Origin of ivory must exactly be known.

Age of ivory project: 15 grams of ivory are needed from the base of the tusk. As this will leave a visible mark, it will not practically apply to hunting trophies, but more to ivory in stockpiles etc. The year of the death of the elephant must be known.
