Isn’t ivory still illegal to trade regardless of the source?

I would assume they would be mostly in zoos, don’t think reintroducing them into the wild is a good idea, they’ve had their time and would disrupt the current ecosystems

They call it ethical ivory its tusks and rhino horn from back then. The problem is they hunt it using giant water cannons that blast the shit out of everything wiping out the protective permafrost where it is and eroding the soil. The soil ends up messing up the rivers and that leads to messing up ecosystem and so on and so on its a big chain reaction but its going on in low profile places like Siberia so not being discussed very much . Its a shame ivory is beautiful and this way we could get it without destroying entire species but leave it to humans to find a way to fuck up the hole planet in the process instead.
