By the 1970s, Japan consumed about 40% of the global trade; another 40% was consumed by Europe and North America, often worked in Hong Kong, which was the largest trade hub, with most of the rest remaining in Africa.

Ivory was widely accepted in terms of non-lethal use of wildlife, but a debate raged over lethal use as in the case of the ivory trade. Most[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] encounters between CITES officials and local bands of poachers erupted in violent struggle, killing men and women on each side. It was recognised that the "sustainable lethal use of wildlife" argument was in jeopardy if the ivory trade could not be controlled. In 1986, CITES introduced a new control system involving CITES paper permits, registration of huge ivory stockpiles and monitoring of legal ivory movements. These controls were supported by most CITES parties as well as the ivory trade and the established conservation movement represented by <a href="/wiki/World_Wide_Fund_for_Nature" title="World Wide Fund for Nature">World Wide Fund for Nature</a> (WWF), <a href="/wiki/Traffic_(conservation_programme)" title="Traffic (conservation programme)">Traffic</a> and the <a href="/wiki/International_Union_for_Conservation_of_Nature" title="International Union for Conservation of Nature">International Union for Conservation of Nature</a> (IUCN).<a href="#cite_note-To_Save-7">[7]</a> In 1986 and 1987, CITES registered 89.5 and 297 tonnes of ivory in <a href="/wiki/Burundi" title="Burundi">Burundi</a> and <a href="/wiki/Singapore" title="Singapore">Singapore</a> respectively.

Some southern African countries including South Africa and <a href="/wiki/Zimbabwe" title="Zimbabwe">Zimbabwe</a> were vehemently opposed. They claimed that their elephant populations were well managed and they wanted revenue from ivory sales to fund conservation. Although both countries were implicated as <a href="/wiki/Entrep%C3%B4t" title="Entrepôt">entrepôts</a> in illegal ivory from other African countries, WWF, with strong ties to both countries, found itself in a difficult position. It is well documented that publicly it opposed the trade but privately tried to appease these southern African states.<a href="#cite_note-Profound-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-To_Save-7">[7]</a> However, the so-called Somalia-Proposal, presented by the governmental delegation of the Republic of Somalia, of which nature protection specialist Prof. Julian Bauer was an official member, then broke the stalemate and the elephant moratorium with its ban of elephant ivory trade was adopted by the CITES delegates. Finally at that October meeting of CITES after heated debates, the African elephant was put on Appendix One of CITES, and three months later in January 1990 when the decision was enacted, the international trade in ivory was banned.<a href="#cite_note-Profound-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-To_Save-7">[7]</a><a href="#cite_note-Washington-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-NPR-13">[13]</a> It is widely accepted that the ivory ban worked. The poaching epidemic that had hit so much of the African elephants' range was greatly reduced.

This was stated to be because these countries claimed to have well-managed elephant populations and they needed the revenue from ivory sales to fund conservation. These countries were South Africa, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and Swaziland. They voted against the Appendix One listing and actively worked to reverse the decision.<a href="#cite_note-Living-15">[15]</a> The two countries leading the attempt to overturn the ban immediately after it was agreed were South Africa and Zimbabwe. South Africa's claim that its elephants were well managed was not seriously challenged. However, its role in the illegal ivory trade and slaughter of elephants in neighbouring countries was exposed in numerous news articles of the time, as part of its policy of destabilisation of its neighbours. 95% of South Africa's elephants were found in <a href="/wiki/Kruger_National_Park" title="Kruger National Park">Kruger National Park</a><a href="#cite_note-Under_Fire-17">[17]</a> which was partly run by the <a href="/wiki/South_African_Defence_Force" title="South African Defence Force">South African Defence Force</a> (SADF) which trained, supplied and equipped the rebel Mozambique army <a href="/wiki/RENAMO" title="RENAMO">RENAMO</a>.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> RENAMO was heavily implicated in large-scale ivory poaching to finance its army.<a href="#cite_note-Under_Fire-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a><a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a><a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> Zimbabwe had embraced "sustainable" use policies of its wildlife, seen by some governments and the WWF as a pattern for future conservation. Conservationists and biologists hailed Zimbabwe's <a href="/wiki/Communal_Areas_Management_Programme_for_Indigenous_Resources" title="Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources">Communal Areas Management Programme for Indigenous Resources</a> (CAMPFIRE) as a template for community empowerment in conservation.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> The failure to prevent the Appendix One listing through CITES came as a blow to this movement. Zimbabwe may have made the career of some biologists, but it was not honest with its claims. The government argued the ivory trade would fund conservation efforts, but revenues were instead returned to the central treasury.<a href="#cite_note-Under_Fire-17">[17]</a> Its elephant census was accused of double counting elephants crossing its border with Botswana by building artificial waterholes. The ivory trade was also wildly out of control within its borders, with <a href="/wiki/Zimbabwe_National_Army" title="Zimbabwe National Army">Zimbabwe National Army</a> (ZNA) involvement in poaching in <a href="/wiki/Gonarezhou_National_Park" title="Gonarezhou National Park">Gonarezhou National Park</a> and other areas.<a href="#cite_note-Under_Fire-17">[17]</a> More sinister was the alleged murder of a string of whistle-blowers, including a Capt. Nleya, who claimed the ZNA was involved in <a href="/wiki/Rhinoceros" title="Rhinoceros">rhinoceros</a> and elephant poaching in Mozambique. Nleya was found hanged at his army barracks near Hwange National Park. The death was reported as suicide by the army, but declared a murder by a magistrate.

The debate is further complicated by the many academic and policy disciplines at play, including biology, census techniques, economics, international trade dynamics, conflict resolution, and criminology—all reported to CITES delegates representing over 170 countries. The decisions made within this agreement have often been highly political. Inevitably, it attracts misinformation, skulduggery and crime. The southern African countries continue to attempt to sell ivory through legal systems. In an appeal to overcome national interests, a group of eminent elephant scientists responded with an open letter in 2002 which clearly explained the effects of the ivory trade on other countries. They stated that the proposals for renewed trade from southern Africa did not bear comparison with most of Africa because they were based on a South African model where 90% of the elephant population lived in a fenced National Park. They went on to describe South Africa's wealth and ability to enforce the law within these boundaries. By comparison, they made it clear that most elephants in Africa live in poorly protected and unfenced bush or forest. They finished their appeal by describing the poaching crisis of the 1980s, and emphasized that the decision to ban ivory was not made to punish southern African countries, but to save the elephants in the rest of the world.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> Southern African countries have continued to push for the international ivory trade.

CITES once again was attempting to set up a control system.<a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> Forty-nine tonnes of ivory was registered in these three countries, and Japan's assertion that it had sufficient controls in place was accepted by CITES and the ivory was sold to Japanese traders in 1997 as an "experiment".<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> In 2000, South Africa also "downlisted" its elephant population to CITES Appendix Two with a stated desire to sell its ivory stockpile.

The effect of the sale of ivory to Japan in 2000 was hotly debated with Traffic, the organization which compiled the ETIS and MIKE databases, claiming they could not determine any link. However, many of those on the ground claimed that the sale had changed the perception of ivory, and many poachers and traders believed they were back in business.<a href="#cite_note-Business-39">[39]</a> A seizing of over 6 tonnes of ivory in <a href="/wiki/Singapore" title="Singapore">Singapore</a> in 2002 provided a stark warning that poaching in Africa was not for only local markets, but that some of the ivory syndicates from the 1980s were operating again. 532 elephant tusks and over 40,000 blank ivory <a href="/wiki/Hanko_(stamp)" class="mw-redirect" title="Hanko (stamp)">hankos</a> were seized, and the <a href="/wiki/Environmental_Investigation_Agency" title="Environmental Investigation Agency">EIA</a> carried out investigations which showed that this case had been preceded by 19 other suspected ivory shipments, four destined for China and the rest for Singapore, though often en route to Japan. The ivory originated in Zambia and was collected in Malawi before being containerized and shipped out of South Africa. Between March 1994 and May 1998, nine suspected shipments had been sent by the same company Sheng Luck from Malawi to Singapore. After this, they started to be dispatched to China. Analysis and cross-referencing revealed company names and company directors already known to the EIA from investigations in the 1980s—the Hong Kong criminal ivory syndicates were active again.<a href="#cite_note-Business-39">[39]</a> In 2002, another 60 tonnes of ivory from South Africa, Botswana and Namibia was approved for sale, and in 2006, Japan was approved as a destination for the ivory. Japan's ivory controls were seriously questioned with 25% of traders not even registered, voluntary rather than legal requirement of traders, and illegal shipments entering Japan. A report by the Japan Wildlife Conservation Society warned that the price of ivory jumped due to price fixing by a small number of manufacturers who controlled the bulk of the ivory—similar to the control of stocks when stockpiles were amnestied in the 1980s.<a href="#cite_note-Japan-40">[40]</a> Before the sale took place, in the wings China was seeking approval as an ivory destination country.<a href="#cite_note-Big_Q-28">[28]</a> In 2014, Uganda said that it was investigating the theft of about 3,000 lb (1,400 kg) of ivory from the vaults of its state-run wildlife protection agency.
