Ivory from elephant tusks is highly valued for making jewelry and art pieces. Because of this, large numbers of elephants were hunted throughout the 1800s and 1900s. By the 1980s, the elephant population in Africa had severely decreased and elephants were in danger of extinction. International laws banning the trade of ivory were passed in order to protect elephants from being hunted. How have the laws most likely affected the world's elephant populations?

    The laws have made it harder for criminals to harvest the ivory, therefore less harvesting occurs. So you could say it affected the population positively, letting the population increase.
