中国全面实施象牙贸易禁令，外国网友纷纷叫好

China's complete ban on ivory trade went into effect on Sunday, officials said, a major step forward in Beijing's efforts to rein in what was once the world's largest market for illegal ivory.

'From today... the buying and selling of elephant ivory and goods by any market, shop or vendor is against the law!' the forestry ministry said on its official account on Chinese social media platform Weibo.

'From now on, if a merchant tells you "this is a state-approved ivory dealer"... he is duping you and knowingly violating the law.'

象牙消费是对大象种群的重大威胁之一，人类的行为影响着大象的命运。

2017年12月31日起，中国全面停止商业性加工和销售象牙及制品活动，从此，买卖象牙都是违法行为。

The ministry added that the ban also applied to online sales and souvenirs purchased abroad.

A partial ban had already resulted in an 80 per cent decline in seizures of ivory entering China, according to the Xinhua state news agency. Domestic prices for raw ivory are down 65 per cent, it said.

据新华社报道，中国此前针对象牙加工销售实行的“部分禁令”已经获得成效，中国海关缉获的象牙数量减少了80%，象牙原料的价格下降了65%。

Excellent, all they need to do now is stop the same trade in other endangered animals, it won't eliminate the trade but it would dent it enough to slow extinction down

棒棒哒，还该禁止其他濒危动物的贸易

虽然无法完全杜绝交易，但是可以大大延缓濒危动物的灭绝
