Solution
There is a solution to this, and it is probably the only one. We need to lower the demand of ivory. But this would be a near impossible thing to achieve, because China will most likely not cooperate. But we might be able to get the poachers to. Another solution could be, instead of killing the elephants, we could help them. The poachers could make more money running nature reserves for tourists to look at the elephants, than killing them until extinction.
