Speaker 1 Summary
Roxanne argues that people who want to protect elephants from poachers should only buy antique ivory. This is because there are separate markets for new ivory and antique ivory, so buying antique ivory doesn’t increase the demand for new ivory. Thus, although new ivory is harmful, buying antique ivory doesn’t incentivize poaching.
Speaker 2 Summary
Salvador argues that people who want to protect elephants should not buy any ivory at all. Why? There’s more demand for antique ivory than supply, so some people buy new ivory instead because antique ivory is too expensive. By not buying any ivory at all, people can lower the demand for antique ivory, therefore redirecting some new-ivory sales and reducing the demand for poaching.
Objective
We’re looking for a point of disagreement. Roxanne and Salvador disagree about whether buying antique ivory threatens elephants.
