i of the Elephant 1.10

i of the Elephant is a valuable tool designed to empower individuals to report instances of illegal ivory sales in their communities. This application facilitates user engagement in combating one of the most pressing threats to elephant populations: the illegal ivory trade.

Statistics are alarming, with approximately 60 elephants being killed each day for their tusks, which are often crafted into jewelry and ornaments. Despite a ban on international ivory trade in the United States, the nation remains the second-largest market for ivory globally, trailing only behind China.

The primary objective of i of the Elephant is to encourage ethical practices among sellers and to assist consumers in identifying environmentally responsible retailers. User-submitted reports and photographs can be forwarded to wildlife authorities for further investigation, thereby enhancing the collective fight against illegal poaching.

This community-focused platform provides users with the opportunity to make a significant impact on elephant conservation efforts, as without proactive measures, wild elephants face an alarming risk of extinction during our lifetime.
