New IFAW report proves ivory trade is thriving online
IFAW has released a report: Elephant vs. Mouse: An Investigation of the Ivory Trade on Craigslist, proving the sale of illegal ivory is flourishing on one of the internet’s most dominant trade sites.
The report found many instances of ivory, elephant skin, and similar items being sold. Investigators tracked 522 postings offering 615 items with a combined list price of nearly $NZ 2 million. Extrapolated to a full year, this would yield over 6,600 items on those sub-sites alone, with a list price of more than $NZ 19.5 million.
The report follows the publication last year of Click to Delete – Endangered Wildlife for sale in New Zealand which discovered ivory, bear parts, a tiger’s tooth and claw and marine turtles for sale on websites such as Trademe, Gumtree NZ and Skykiwi.
