Wildlife Forensics Team Unveils Method to Spot Elephant Ivory Masquerading as Mammoth Ivory

Biology, Evolution /

In an effort to protect elephants from extinction, the global community banned the trade of elephant ivory. However, mammoth ivory remains legal to sell, and the two types are hard to distinguish—particularly for those without expertise. This creates a potential loophole that illegal ivory traders can take advantage of. Stable isotope analysis may now offer
