👉 The Ivory Project is an initiative aimed at addressing the illegal trade and demand for elephant ivory by promoting sustainable alternatives and fostering community engagement in conservation efforts. It focuses on developing and distributing affordable, durable, and culturally appropriate products made from materials other than ivory, such as bamboo, rattan, and recycled plastics. By working closely with local communities, particularly in Africa and Asia, the project not only reduces the incentive for poaching but also provides economic opportunities and raises awareness about the importance of wildlife conservation. Through education, workshops, and partnerships with businesses, the Ivory Project seeks to create a global shift away from ivory consumption and towards more ethical and sustainable practices.
