African conservationists and a U.S.A ivory education specialist have condemned anti-ivory use groups for protesting British Queen Consort Camilla’s determination to carry a rod made of ivory at the coronation of her husband, King Charles, on 6 May 2023.
In an interview, Botswana Chieftainess Rebecca Banika said, “It’s indeed a good move for the Queen of England to show support [for the need to use wildlife products such as ivory.]
“We see this as support for communities co-existing with wildlife such as those in elephant-over-populated Botswana,” she said. “We need trade in surplus ivory to help us survive.”
“The anti-ivory groups in Western nations continually turn a blind eye to our cries for help. They are more interested in soliciting donations so they can enrich themselves and bribe others.”
