"Groups such as the World Wildlife Fund, the Clinton Foundation, and Save the Elephants have been especially vocal in their protests against the illegal killing of elephants. In addition, many countries have demonstrated their disapproval of the ivory trade by crushing or burning ivory stockpiles and objects. The Atlantic magazine reported that in 2013, China crushed 6,000 tons of ivory. It added that 'over the next two years, Hong Kong will embark on the world’s largest ivory burn, setting 28 tons of illegally harvested tusks aflame to signal a shift in its valuation of elephants.'"
