Schiffman comments on China's proposed shutdown of the domestic ivory market in 2017. Sadly, that ban flopped, due in large part to China's failure to comply, or even admit culpability. The proposed speed of the shutdown--by the end of the year--is dizzying. And there can be little doubt that the authoritarian regime will largely succeed. This won't end the ivory trade, but it will deal it a serious blow. It will also put pressure on other ivory trading nations to shut up shop.
