2013: Year in Review by National Geographic. Part 3/3

One of the most urgent conservation issues of the day is how to slow the booming illegal trade in African ivory. Crime syndicates continue to slaughter African elephants by the tens of thousands each year and smuggle the tusks into Asia, where the ivory is carved into everything from chopsticks to religious figurines. As part of its ongoing coverage of the ivory crisis, National Geographic Daily News reported in June on how the Philippines became the first Asian country to destroy its seized ivory to keep it off the black market.
