                                    5 pages. The African elephant is threatened with extinction and the trade in their ivory was forbidden in 1989 by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).  There is still, however, a serious poaching problem because ivory remains to be a highly sought after product.  The implications of this illegal trade and the demand for it is discussed along with the organizations and groups that are involved.
