No matter how much money you spread around, out in the bush where the elephants are, the ivory buyers would be offering more by the time it trickled down to the poacher. It is a controversial program. I have no real way to tell which works best but I have accepted their argument as "not dumb". I have some ivory (it is old). I have seen some utterly mind blowing ivory in museums. It is easy to see why we started to consume it. Learn a bit about the early ivory trade here. Factories of workmen driving the need to get more and more ivory. There were whole towns of ivory carving factories. It is that way in China now. Only by fucking up their supply will those businesses cease to expand.You don't need infrastructure like ours to crack down on this, it's not difficult to throw money at the problem and get these corrupt rulers in Botswana or Zimbabwe on the right side.
