The New Zealand Government has consulted the public on options for regulating the domestic trade in elephant ivory, as well as further regulations at the border. Options on regulating elephant ivory is part of a wider reform of the Trade in Endangered Species Act 1989, which implements the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). The New Zealand Government received 119 submissions on a public discussion document. The majority of submitters commented on options for regulating the trade in elephant ivory. Submissions are currently being analysed with decisions on options being made by the Government in 2020.
