Maybe. In general I agree. This specific case might be rough. I think it takes a long time for elephants to produce ivory. A few pounds of the stuff need to support perhaps 3 elephants for 10 years? People aren't paying anywhere near the true cost.
It might also be worthwhile to try a superman vs the klu klux klan approach as well. Superman beat the nazis and needed an opponent. for various reasons he started fighting the KKK. Kids would read the comics. It got to embarrassing for fathers to admit they were comic book villains, so they quit going.
As far as i can tell, ivory is only used for jewelry. The fur industry faced the red paint thing, that seems excessive. But the later portrayals, cruella deville seems like the iconic fur wearer.
Maybe convince some U.S. and Chinese movie studios to mercilessly mock ivory consumers. Ivory is nothing more than a fashion. Being the butt of every joke is not fashionable.
