The Ban on Trading Ivory (象牙) is Unfair but Necessary
As in some countries elephant population have recovered, there are competing proposals about how absolute the ban on elephant trading should be. Countries seeking a modest relaxation have a strong case to make. But it is not strong enough. The ban must stay. 
Understandably, countries that have done a good job protecting their elephants feel this is unfair. 67. __________________ And the real burden of all this is borne by poor local people who are in competition with wildlife for resources, and sometimes in conflict with it — elephants can be destructive. People and governments, so the argument goes, need to have an economic stake (利害关系) in the elephants’ survival. The ivory trade would give them one. 
To understand why these reasonable-sounding proposals should be rejected, consider what has happened to elephant numbers since some legal trade was authorised, when Botswana, Namibia and South Africa were allowed in 2007 to sell a fixed amount of ivory to Japan.     68. __________________ A survey conducted in 2014-15 estimated that elephant numbers had fallen by 30% across 18 countries since 2007. 
69. __________________ In better-resourced national parks, drones are used to make it easier for park keepers to spot illegal hunters. DNA testing of ivory can identify where they came from, and thus whether they are legal. As prices of the technologies fall and countries get richer, both technologies are likely to spread. 
The objection to trade in products of endangered species is not moral. When the world is confident that it will boost elephant numbers rather than wipe them out, the ivory trade should be encouraged. 70. __________________ And until it does, the best hope for the elephant—and even more endangered species, such as rhinos (犀牛) — lies not in easing the ban on trading their products, but in enforcing it better.
