2008-06-18 - Bolton, United Kingdom.
AN MP has called for action on the illegal trade in ivory to protect endangered elephants. Brian Iddon, Bolton south east MP, backed a new campaign by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). The ivory trade was banned in 1989 but approximately 20,000 elephants are killed every year to supply the black market. Dr Iddon said China was `the single major destination' for traded ivory. The IFAW is campaigning to ensure China is not allowed to import stockpiled ivory.
