social effects of poaching

There is an international trade of ivory and rhino horn.  The ivory and rhino horns come from Africa and travel to Asia, where they use them for medicine and jewelry.  70% of the Chinese surveyed, thought that ivory fell out of the elephants like teeth do, and the elephants didn't have to die.  There is an international ban on ivory trade since 1989.  Some countries are still trading.  The UN can impose trade sanctions that would have many social impacts upon the country.
