The convention is the best method of getting all the countries together to work to protect a species that's endangered. And if the way of doing it is by listing an extinct species, which may seem a little unusual, then the countries should approve this because this is going to increase the protection of an endangered species, the elephants in Africa."

"We've checked with legal experts, and within the convention there is a prevision for what's called lookalike species, where non-endangered species could be listed under the convention and under its protection to help prevent trade illegally in an endangered species. An example of this was the lynx, where the American lynx is not endangered, but the European lynx is endangered, and both lynx were listed on the convention because it's almost impossible to tell the difference between their furs."

"If we go into the stores in China, where they're selling ivory and you actually do an analysis of the figurines, you can determine that there is a large percentage of the ivory is actually from mammoth. But to determine how much of that ends up in international trade is very difficult because it's totally unregulated. So, we don't know. We know that there are hundreds of tons of mammoth ivory coming out of Siberia, we know that there are people going into the tundra in Siberia searching for these giant mammoth tusks that are frozen there - they're not fossilized, they're only a few thousand years old and they're frozen there - and they can be worked just like regular ivory into figurines and other kinds of things. So, we know that it's going on, we know that there's a certain amount of it, we don't know the amount that's actually being traded of ivory being labelled as mammoth ivory, the laundering that we're trying to prevent."

LEADIN:
The woolly mammoth has been extinct for thousands of years, but now Israel is calling for the species to be recognised as being "endangered" at this week's CITES meeting.
Why? Because the trade in legal woolly mammoth ivory is growing, which wildlife experts claim has led to elephant tusks often being passed off as from their ancient cousins, which in turn is threatening species such as the "vulnerable" African elephant.
STORYLINE:
They roamed Earth several thousand years ago.
Now, wildlife experts in Israel are calling for the extinct woolly mammoth to be internationally recognised as an "endangered" species.
For years, conservationists have claimed the booming trade in mammoth tusk is hurting their modern-day cousins - the African elephant.
It's claimed traffickers often try to circumvent the ban by passing off illegal elephant tusk as "ice ivory" - the ivory that comes from mammoth tusks.
Elephant and mammoth tusks are almost indistinguishable to the untrained eye. The only real difference? One is legal to trade, the other isn't.
Now, Israel is proposing tougher regulations on the trade of mammoth ivory, hoping it will help put the brakes on the sale of elephant ivory, falsely labelled as coming from its ancient cousins.
They're proposing "Mammuthusprimigenius" should be listed as "endangered" under Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
They're due to present their case at the 18th meeting of CITES in Geneva, which begins Saturday (17 August).
"By putting the mammoth ivory outside the system, it allows the opening for laundering of elephant ivory," says Dr. Simon Nemtzov, a wildlife ecologist.
"The convention is the best method of getting all the countries together to work to protect a species that's endangered.
"And if the way of doing it is by listing an extinct species, which may seem a little unusual, then the countries should approve this because this is going to increase the protection of an endangered species, the elephants in Africa."
Nemtov claims there's a legal basis to classifying a non-endangered species under CITES protection.
"An example of this was the lynx, where the American lynx is not endangered, but the European lynx is endangered, and both lynx were listed on the convention because it's almost impossible to tell the difference between their furs," he says.
The international trade in elephant ivory was banned in 1990. China introduced its own ivory ban in 2017.
Despite that, elephants still face a risk of poaching.
"We know that there are hundreds of tons of mammoth ivory coming out of Siberia, we know that there are people going into the tundra in Siberia searching for these giant mammoth tusks that are frozen there," says Nemtzov.
"We know that it's going on, we know that there's a certain amount of it, we don't know the amount that's actually being traded of ivory being labelled as mammoth ivory, the laundering that we're trying to prevent."
Konstantin Mamontov has been carving mammoth bones for two decades.
Using small electronic tools, he carves these delicate creations. Depending on the size, a souvenir can take anything between three weeks to six months.
He sells his hand-carved souvenirs mainly in Russia's Yakutsk, but does receive some orders from China, Europe and the US.
It's not clear how the CITES proposal, if actioned, would affect the legal trade and livelihoods of mammoth bone carvers.
Not everyone thinks the proposal is a good idea.
Valery Plotnikov, chief researcher of the Mammoth Fauna Study Department at the Academy of Sciences of Yakutia, says the mammoth trade helps protect elephants.
"I have to say that I am against this initiative (to list the Woolly Mammoth as an endangered species) because the mammoth tusk has probably completely replaced the elephant tusk on the international market and it will help to save elephants from extinction," he says.
Africa's elephant population has plummeted from more than three million in 1900, to an estimated 415,000 today.
According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the African elephant is listed as "vulnerable".
A recent assessment by CITES confirmed that poaching remains a threat to the survival of the species.
Israel's proposal will be considered at the 18th meeting of CITES, which is due to run 17-28 August in Geneva, Switzerland.
