Hong Kong has voted to ban the trade of ivory in a landmark decision after years of campaigning. Politicians voted in favour of amending an existing law to outlaw sales of ivory in the Chinese territory by 2021. The proposal also includes significantly stiffer penalties for the smuggling of ivory and other highly endangered species to deter black market sales. Researchers say Hong Kong is the world’s largest ivory market.
