What is the relationship between ivory sales and rhino poaching in Africa?
Ivory sales and rhino poaching in Africa are interconnected through the illegal wildlife trade, where the demand for ivory often drives poaching of multiple species, including rhinos. Although rhinos are primarily targeted for their horns, the poaching networks often overlap, as both ivory and rhino horn are highly valued in black markets. The profits from ivory sales can fund further poaching activities, exacerbating the decline of both elephant and rhino populations. Efforts to combat these issues often focus on reducing demand for ivory to protect all endangered species involved in the trade.
