This month marks the two-year anniversary of the Philippines’ destroying its five-ton stockpile of seized elephant tusks. The June 21, 2013 incident “marked not only the first time an ivory-consuming nation took such a public action but also the first time a country took steps to guarantee that [seized ivory] could not re-enter the black market,” according to Laurel Neme, a noted advisor on environmental and wildlife policy and regular contributor to National Geographic.
