Ivory is big business, and in some parts of Africa elephants have been hunted almost to extinction in the quest for it. The losses to African economies have been catastrophic. Now there is an international ban on the trade and conservation is. the principal goal. This should be a matter for rejoicing, but nothing is quite so simple. The authors of this book have looked at the overall statistics, including those for countries where the elephant population is stable. They have considered the multiplicity of economic and social functions fulfilled by ensuring that elephant herds survive, tourism, a variety of ecological purpose. and, finally, as a source of ivory. They show how the careful management of elephants as a resource can best serve African interests. This book is at the cutting edge of economic thinking and provides a model for the consideration of the difficult relationship between people and wildlife. Originally published in 19990

Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Ethics, Corporate Ethics, grade: -, , language: English, abstract: Have you ever considered that the percentage of elephants killed is faster than the percentage of elephants being born? According to the wildlife conservation society, 96 African elephants are killed every day for ivory; at this rate, no elephants will be left in 20 years (Jones, 2015). This directly means 34,560 elephants get killed every year. Imagine to what extent that they are being killed every year! Ivory trade was started during the seventh and eighth centuries, when Muslim Arabs secured a trade monopoly in Maghreb, in the north African countries of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, between the Atlas mountain and the Mediterranean with peoples of the Sahara; as it was used for luxury goods by Carving, it was considered as a commodity from the early times (Seaver, 2009). This situation created the illegal ivory trade in the world. At the same time, poachers started to hunt elephants, so as to sell their ivory on the black market for an exorbitant price. Consequently, the elephant species started to become extinct. Hence, people should not buy ivory products as it Causes the extinction of elephant species, the devastating decline of plant species, and negative impact on herbivorous animals. The first reason why people should not buy Ivory products is because it causes to the rapid trending down in the population of elephant species, which finally leads to extinction of the species. People should consider that, buying Ivory products would literary mean encouraging poachers to continue their brutal act on elephant species. According to the Wildlife Conservation Society, 96 elephants are killed by poachers every day to meet the demands of ivory trade (Jones, 2015). For instance, In1976, The African Elephant Specialist Group estimates that there were 1.3 million elephants ranging over 7.3 square kilometer; then after 11 years the elephant population decreased to 760,000; the preceding 2 years also dropped to 608,000 (Stiles, 2004, p. 312). Imagine what is going to happen if the number is continuously decreasing like this! We are killing them just for their ivory.

Half of Tanzania's elephants have been killed for their ivory since 2007. A similar alarming story can be told of the herds in northern Mozambique and across swathes of central Africa, with forest elephants losing almost two-thirds of their numbers to the tusk trade. The huge rise in poaching and ivory smuggling in the new millennium has destroyed the hope that the 1989 ivory trade ban had capped poaching and would lead to a long-term fall in demand. But why the new upsurge? The answer is not simple. Since ancient times, large-scale killing of elephants for their tusks has been driven by demand outside Africa's elephant ranges - from the Egyptian pharaohs through Imperial Rome and industrialising Europe and North America to the new wealthy business class of China. And, who poaches and why do they do it? In recent years lurid press reports have blamed mass poaching on rebel movements and armed militias, especially Somalia's Al Shabaab, tying two together two evils - poaching and terrorism. But does this account stand up to scrutiny? This new and ground-breaking examination of the history and politics of ivory in Africa forensically examines why poaching happens in Africa and why it is corruption, crime and politics, rather than insurgency, that we should worry about.

The economic prosperity of two nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century New England towns rested on factories that manufactured piano keys, billiard balls, combs, and other items made of ivory imported from East Africa. Yet while towns like Ivoryton and Deep River, Connecticut, thrived, the African ivory trade left in its wake massive human exploitation and ecological devastation. At the same time, dynamic East African engagement with capitalism and imperialism took place within these trade histories. Drawing from extensive archival and field research in New England, Great Britain, and Tanzania, Alexandra Kelly investigates the complex global legacies of the historical ivory trade. She not only explains the complexities of this trade but also analyzes Anglo-American narratives about Africa, questioning why elephants and ivory feature so centrally in those representations. From elephant conservation efforts to the cultural heritage industries in New England and East Africa, her study reveals the ongoing global repercussions of the ivory craze and will be of interest to anthropologists, archaeologists, historians, and conservationists.

Thanks to globalization, more countries depend on each other for trade, capital, and ideas than ever before. Yet politically, these countries are drifting further apart. In Seeing the Elephant, author and emerging markets expert Peter Marber describes how increasing economic integration and the rise of new actors is drastically altering the geopolitical landscape, and offers insights on how the US can maintain a leading role in the 21st century and beyond. While America remains the single most important economy today, rising economic powerhouses — China, Russia, India, Brazil and others — bring a diverse set of interests to the table that the US cannot afford to ignore, Marber explains. Moreover, globalization has created thousands of non-state actors – corporations, banks, hedge funds, activists and even terrorists – who bring their own concerns to bear on the world system. In the era of globalization, America's success hinges on the success of its neighbors, too. Yet from its invasion of Iraq to its disregard of major treaties — some recent US choices have shown little regard for these new players. As the lines between economic, defense, environmental, immigration, and energy policy become increasingly blurred, having a holistic and coherent approach to cross-border challenges is essential. Yet the forums and institutions that once coordinated these relationships – the UN, World Bank and the G7— are losing relevance and no longer adequately represent the world's expanded power roster. To remain vital, Marber believes all our multilateral institutions will require fresh ideas and revamping. Seeing the Elephant demystifies globalization, and analyzes the megatrends and interconnections of the 21st century. With bold suggestions on how America reassert its historic leadership in the new global arena, Seeing the Elephant should be required reading for policy makers, businessmen and informed citizens alike.
