The South African government has withdrawn a proposal to re-instate the trade in elephant products. South Africa had previously said that there was a call for elephant meat, hair and skin products on world markets. Environmentalists were concerned that by re-instating this trade it would encourage a resumption in hunting for ivory.  Next Page Read Hear CmntyInfo Religion

Many feel that the endangered animal would be made extinct if the trade was reinstated. The Humane Society of the US said that the decision by South Africa "recognises that elephants continue to be threatened throughout Africa" There are estimated to be 600,000 elephants living in the wild.  Read Hear 710 Community 720 Next Page Read Hear CmntyInfo Religion

The Convention has changed the species status because rhino numbers have greatly increased. Under Convention rules endangered means that the species is on the brink of extinction. The change of status means that South Africa can now export White Rhino to other countries where they may be re-established and hunted.  Next Page Read Hear CmntyInfo Religion

An illegal trade in tiger products has caused an increase in hunting. Tiger bones are valued as an ancient oriental remedy for rheumatism and arthritis. Tiger hunting is prevalent in China - but the Chinese government has agreed to the ban which aims to protect the world's remaining 7,000 tigers.  Next Page Read Hear CmntyInfo Religion
