I have seen the terrible effects China and Asia market had on elephants and specially rhinos in Africa. People in Africa earn very little money so poaching means you could be a hero in your village, buy cell phones, computers or cars, even if you risk your life.
About cultural heritage, in the past Chinese artist used their hands to carve ivory. Today they use dental drills that are extremely fast carving in industrial scale. It is not sustainable.
The only way to preserve Africa's animals are for the demand dissapearing: that is to make people ashamed for owning ivory instead of proud in China.
This will take time, but today news is good news.
