Nations around the world have put a ban on hunting elephants for their tusks. Also, the sale of Ivory (elephant tusk) is a crime in most nations. Since ivory is the main reason why elephants were killed in thousands, the ban on ivory sale has actually helped reduce the number of poaching incidents in Africa and India. Still there is illegal sale of ivory in the black market and law enforcement authorities around the globe are trying to catch such criminals to help the elephants.
