This is just a thought at this time concerning elephant poaching. As most people know there is a worldwide ban on elephant ivory and objects made from elephant ivory. Some people however do not know it is legal to own and sell pre-ban elephant ivory and objects made from pre-ban elephant ivory. I believe it is legal at this time to own (believe it or not) mammoth ivory and objects made from other types of ivory.
The problem lies with law enforcement and consumers not being able to readily tell the difference between pre-ban and post-ban ivory. Would it be possible to feed elephants something safe that would make the ivory fluoresce under ultraviolet light? Could an elephant’s tusks be sprayed with a safe liquid that would do this?
If this were possible, it would make elephant’s tusks worthless to poachers. Anyone with an ultraviolet light could tell it was illegal ivory. I know this would be a huge undertaking but I hope we can start somewhere to find a comprehensive solution to the problem.
