没有买卖，就没有杀害
Elephants are in danger. Hunters kill them for their tusks. The hunters sell the ivory from the tusks. The USA wants to stop this. It wants to protect elephants. On Thursday, the U.S. government burnt 6,000 kilograms of ivory. The USA wants to tell poachers (people who illegally kill elephants) to stop killing elephants. Many elephants in Africa are dying. It is difficult to stop the poachers. The USA will give a $1 million reward to anyone with information about a group in Laos that buys and sells ivory.
Conservationists (people who want to protect animals and the Earth) are happy with the USA. They say poaching will stop if it is unprofitable. If poachers cannot make money, they will not kill elephants. The Born Free USA conservation group said: "Any time we can remove ivory from the marketplace, it's a win for elephants…If there's no profitability in selling ivory, there's no profitability in poaching elephants." A worldwide ban on trading ivory started in 1989. It has protected elephants, but the world needs to do much, much more.
