<p>We have no plans to change our policy regarding the sale of ivory. The international
trade in elephant ivory is currently banned under the Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). A proposal has been put forward by a small number
of CITES Parties, including Zimbabwe, for consideration at the 18th meeting of CITES
Conference of the Parties (CoP) to resume international trade in ivory from these
countries. These proposals will be subject to robust challenge at the CoP before any
decision.</p>
