\nChapter 7: Perspective of tightening controls of ivory trade by Government of Japan in the\u00a0wake of the CITES resolution on closure of domestic ivory market
\nChapter 8: Final discussion, Conclusion and Recommendation<\/p>\nMasayuki Sakamoto, Executive Director of JTEF concluded,\u00a0\u201cAlthough illegal internal trade, import and export have continued, and the illegal internal\u00a0trade has significantly increased in particular, the Government of Japan is determined in
\nopposition to follow the resolution of closure of domestic ivory trade, and far from it, is\u00a0avoiding closing the serious loopholes in its controls on ivory trade and is consistently\u00a0vitalizing ivory supply into the market and demand for ivory.
\nIn these situations, it is gravely concerned that traffickers would launder illegally-traded\u00a0ivory through the market of legally-traded ivory.
\nThere is no question that Japan\u2019s domestic ivory market should be urgently closed down in\u00a0accordance with CITES Resolution 10.10 (Rev. CoP17).\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
