African Nations Clash Over Ivory Trade

“Conservation groups are urging the 171 countries in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), meeting now in The Hague until June 16, not to lift restrictions on the ivory trade. CITES meets every two or three years to review trade rules on everything from orchids to the saw-tooth shark. Once again, the meeting has been dominated by the trade in ivory.” (Christian Science Monitor, Wednesday)

Property and preservation go hand in hand–without the prohibiting fist of government.
