Un groupe de 29 pays africains se sont dits «abasourdis» cette semaine par l’opposition récemment manifestée par l’Union européenne d’interdire purement, simplement et mondialement le commerce de l’ivoire.

L’argument souvent prononcé pour défendre une telle position est que les profits engendrés par la vente d’ivoire peuvent servir, en bout de ligne, à promouvoir la conservation des pachydermes.

To save African elephants from extinction, “range states should put their ivory stockpiles beyond commercial use immediately and simultaneously,” says South African economist Ross Harvey.
Using a theoretical two-player, river-crossing game in a paper called “Preserving the African Elephant for Future Generations,” Harvey—a senior researcher with the South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA), the country’s premier research institute on international issues—demonstrates which combination of elephant preservation strategies would yield the most effective results. He calculates that to slow the illegal trade in ivory and reduce demand, all African range countries need to simultaneously dispose of their ivory stockpiles: “If ivory stockpiles are obliterated…the exchange value of elephants will essentially move towards zero.”
