division_name: Supply and Appropriation (Main Estimates) (No. 2) Bill &#8212; Requirement to amend definition of ivory
motion: <p class="indent" pid="a359.6/3" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;It would be a tragedy if we worked really hard to save elephants and other species were collateral damage in the process&#8230; We recognise that the trade is entrepreneurial and will move to wherever there is an opportunity.&#8221;</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="a359.6/5" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;From 2007 to 2016&#8212;just under a decade&#8212;78,000 hippos and hippo products were exported by CITES parties. Hong Kong imported 60 tonnes of hippo ivory between 2004 and 2014&#8230; Those are not insignificant by any measure&#8212;they are enormously significant.&#8221;&#8211;&#8211;[Official Report, Ivory Public Bill Committee,  <phrase class="date" code="2018-06-12">12 June</phrase> 2018; c. 5, Q2.]</p>
  
  <p class="indent" pid="a363.0/4" pwmotiontext="yes">&#8220;In my view, there is a common linkage with our clear objectives in overseas development, which are to deal with poverty and to provide opportunity...If we are not investing in the protected areas where elephants and other species live, we are not doing a great service either to the species we wish to protect or to the people who live literally downstream from those protected areas.&#8221;&#8211;&#8211;[Official Report, Ivory Public Bill Committee, <phrase class="date" code="2018-06-12">12 June</phrase> 2018; c. 9, Q12.]</p>
