There is an easy way that ~could~ end Ivory poaching and reverse the destruction of Elephant herds in Africa (and it would even turn poachers into animal protection agents): It’s called capitalism.
Allow the poachers to “OWN” whole herds and then teach them that if they allow the elephants to produce babies then in the future when these elephants are near old age/death they then could collect the tusk, this may take a few years with a change in culture the current poachers would become fierce protectors of “their” WILD herds (and the lands that these elephants graze on).
Just my 2, but the socialists would never listen to this. -JS

I’m not certain, but I think there’s somewhere in Africa where that’s been done.

how do you tell if your piano has ivory or just plastic..Ivory keys discolor with age. Sometimes they split. My piano (ca. 1930) had all of the ivory removed from the keyboard when it was restored in the 1960s and replaced with plastic. I don't think that they've used ivory for piano keys since the 1940s.

Destroying old valuable artifacts is abhorrent.
Just like China's cultural revolution when old art was destroyed to make room for the new, Islams destruction of old Buddhist statues, different justification, same result.
Environmentalism is destroying more than is saves.

I do have a baby grand piano with ivory keys that was recently restored. The restorer recommended keeping the ivory keys and he carefully filed the sharp edges and polished them up real purdy. I would never have imagined that it would be illegal to sell.

Spot on. I spent many years in Africa. Outlawing trophy hunting, and commercial ivory led to the decimation of local animal populations, simply because they were reduced to the status of garden pest. When professional hunters and game managers were driven out, the field was left wide open to poachers and corrupt local officials who quickly depleted their greatest natural resource.

Curiously, I tried to link it from YouTube, but they had it pared down to about 30 seconds and excised Piscopo’s money shot (...”amigo, negro”), an obvious PC act.

Seriously, how can they tell it wasn’t from an Indian Elephant instead of an African one?

This “ivory ban” doesn’t even prevent the legal hunting of elephants for sport.

Ear size won’t tell which elephant the ivory in your piano keys is from. Just say ‘This is Indian Elephant ivory.”, and you have reasonable doubt.
