Read this excerpt from a passage.

In 2014, the United States, the world’s second largest market for ivory, announced a ban on the trade in elephant ivory within the U.S. Unfortunately, many other countries have not yet acted to outlaw the buying and selling of ivory, demonstrating their disregard for the survival of the African elephant.
