They could have sold that and made millions for their economy.
plus flooding the market with LEGAL ivory would have helped reduce demand, drove down prices and resulted in less poaching.
Now they have not only wasted millions, but will ensure Ivory is still hard to get and expensive and thus poaching will increase.
If Kenya allowed hunting elephants again, hunters would pay $30-40000 to shoot a bull elephant, and the PH’s who guide them would police their area to protect it, and there would be elephants in excess, as in Zimbabwe and other areas.
