Thus the CITES decision to ban ivory sales has been assailed for taking only the elephant into consideration, while neglecting other species, including people. It is not only divorced from reality, it goes against the interests of local residents, exacerbating the friction between elephants and Africans.
因此華約組織禁售象牙的決定，被攻擊為「一味以物種、生態為主」，不僅不切實際，也完全忽視當地人的利益，更助長了非洲住民與大象的對立。
