Ivory is primarily made into a variety of decorative and functional items, including jewelry, ornaments, piano keys, and various art pieces. It has historically been used for carving intricate sculptures and religious artifacts. However, due to ethical and conservation concerns regarding the decline of elephant populations, the trade of ivory is heavily regulated or banned in many countries. Efforts are ongoing to promote alternatives that do not involve the use of endangered species.
