从2000年到2011年，尽管非洲是象牙非法偷运的发源地，中国和泰国却是这些象牙制品的主要销往地，目前在一项提倡全球禁止非法象牙贸易的活动得到了中国网民的支持。
非洲国家在该方面的监管不力，加上中国方面的消费增加，以及在受控的体系内允许所谓合法国内贸易，这些都使得象牙贸易屡禁不止。2012年7月，在泰国和越南查获的走私象牙的新闻纷纷登上世界媒体的头条。
濒危野生动植物国际贸易公约的一份2012年6月报告指出，尽管象牙国际贸易已在1989年被禁止，但是在2009年这种交易达到了顶峰，到2011年仍有着巨大的交易量。
就在2011年，所查获的14起大型象牙走私案件（涉及重量达800公斤以上），其规模已超越了2009和2010年的总和，而且创下自1989年以来的记录。但所涉及的8个非洲象保护区，4个亚洲象保护区却没有报告一起象牙查获案件。salon.com报道指出，仅依靠事后截获而不将偷猎者绳之以法无法根本杜绝偷猎和走私。
中国微博用户促请禁止象牙贸易
禁止象牙贸易在中国微博网络已经是热门话题之一，尤其当台湾艺人陈建州在微博上传了一张被偷猎者取走象牙后受重伤卧地的大象照片更是引起了强烈反应：
@黑人建州：请别买象牙。。。没有买卖，就没有杀害！
这儿则是一些微博用户的留言：
把您的妖娆留给西门庆： 请别买象牙。。。没有买卖。。。就不会有杀害。。。他们是人类的朋友。。。看着那么憨厚温柔。。。你舍得吗？职位您那一些爱美的举动就要让他们丧命！
果断——潘子：太恐怖啦，唔好买啦，无左市场，就误会再生产噶啦
湘潭大学学生微博：好可怕！真不知道你们如何下得了手！没有买卖就没有杀害！拒绝象牙！
另外一个在非洲的用户Sherry：。。。只有中国人吃这哦动物，买象牙，犀牛角，市场上的黑人都会讲中文："象牙要不要？"
肯尼亚：象牙来源地和中转地
2012年7月，国际动物保护组织（IFAW）这家旨在保护野生动物的非政府组织指出，肯尼亚既是非法象牙的发源地，也是该贸易从非洲到亚洲的中转站。其东非区域总监James Isiche确信目前该国所暴露的情况只是冰山一角并谴责了肯尼亚当局：
大象偷猎行为在肯尼亚正有上升趋势，该国目前不仅是非法象牙的产地更成为走私渠道之一[……]尽管肯尼亚当局在过去的走私拦截行动中可圈可点，但是过去的一年半中走私的趋势已经达到让人担忧的水平。肯尼亚当局和象群保护区应当采取紧急措施保护象群并封锁走私通道，打击偷猎者。
从禁止到"规范管理"的贸易
濒危野生动植物国际贸易公约组织（CITES）意识到对象牙制品日益增长的需求将会使禁猎措施的成果付诸东流，已开始着手讨论目前象牙交易的管制。该组织提议成立象牙销售统一监控机构（CISO）以期控制该市场并只销售自然死亡的大象象牙。所获资金将再投入该组织的保育项目中。
但该提议遭到了其他保育组织，例如环境调查协会（EIA）的强烈质疑。该协会的执行总监Mary Rice表达了这样的深切忧虑：
环境调查协会强烈质疑此"合法"销售，或者对象牙"合法"销售的讨论会继续刺激象牙买卖市场，在实质上是支持非法象牙国际贸易需求的复苏和繁荣。
因此EIA拒绝了该项提议，并相应提出对当前象牙交易系统的漏洞进行独立审查，调查诸如腐败、非法洗钱贸易等问题。

One red princeling Hu Shiying posted a photo of a private gathering of China's red princelings, in which a infamous red guard Song Yaowu appeared.
The party was hosted by Xi Jinping, then CCP Party Boss in Zhejiang Province. Others appeared in this photo includes Bo Xicheng (son of Bo Yibo and brother of Bo Xilai), Liu Yuan (son of Liu Shaoqi), Wang Qishan (son in law of Yao Yilin), Yang Li (daughter of Yang Shangkun), Chen Yuan (son of Chen Yun) among others. Song Yaowu is the women 4th from left in the front. Xi Jinping is 3rd from right in the second row.
Song, together with another Red Guard Deng Rong (daughter of Deng Xiaoping), killed their teacher Bian Zhongyun, the first teacher to be killed by students in the Great Cultural Revolution. The incident opened an era when red guards across the country were mobilized to take over schools by violence. Many more teachers would be tortured and killed in the next few years.
One of those from whom Hu Jie got evidence was another teacher at the school, Lin Mang.In the film Lin states that the Red Guards beat Bian Zhongyun in a toilet room. He described one of the perpetrators as a tall, thin girl. Lin also stated in the film that Red Guards forced him to carry Bian's body after her murder.
Based upon subsequent additional credible evidence received,the tall, thin girl who Lin saw beating Bian was Liu Tingting, daughter of Liu Shaoqi, the president of China.
