The destruction of ivory is a technique used by governments and conservation groups to deter the poaching of elephants for their tusks and to suppress the illegal ivory trade. As of 2016, more than 263 tonnes (580,000 lb) of ivory have been destroyed, typically by burning or crushing, in these high-profile events in 21 countries around the world. Kenya held the first event in 1989, as well as the largest event in 2016, when a total of 105 tonnes (231,000 lb) of ivory were incinerated.

  • La destruction de l'ivoire est une technique utilisée par des gouvernements ou des groupes de conservation de la nature dans le but de dissuader le braconnage des éléphants pour leurs défenses et de mettre fin au marché de l'ivoire. Pour être détruit, l'ivoire peut être brûlé ou broyé. (fr)
  • 象牙销毁是政府和保护组织用来阻止为获取獠牙而偷猎大象以及镇压非法的一种手段。截至2016年,全球21个国家开展了通过燃烧或压碎手段来销毁象牙的活动,在这些活动中超过263吨(58万磅)的象牙被销毁。肯尼亚在1989年举行了第一次销毁活动,在2016年达到了其规模最大的一次,共计焚烧了105吨(231000磅)象牙。 对销毁活动表示支持的自然资源保护主义者、政府和非政府组织认为,这一方法促进了公众对大象的保护,并同时向偷猎者传达了一个信息:他们的做法是徒劳的。但批评者认为,这种做法可能会造成象牙因销毁而变得更稀缺的表象,从而进一步增加其在黑市的价值并导致更多的偷猎行为,而且这种做法的有效性不足以证明贫困国家的机会成本是合理的。 (zh)
