By Jess Murray Truth Theory

China has just announced a ban on all ivory trade by the end of 2017.

This decision is a huge step forward in preserving the ever-decreasing wild elephant populations, due to China being home to the biggest ivory market in the world.

Estimates have suggested that 70% of the world's ivory trade ends up in the country, and within the Chinese market ivory can reach up to £850 per kilogram.

Conservation groups worldwide have shown great positivity for China's decision, hailing it as "historic" and a "game-changer for the future of elephants".

The ban will stop both the commercial processing and the sale of ivory by 31st March 2017, when all registered traders will be faded out, meaning that all ivory markets will end by the end of the year.

Global conservation group WWF praised the latest news, calling it a "historic announcement... signalling an end to the world's primary legal ivory market and a major boost to international efforts to tackle the elephant poaching crisis in Africa".

The international ivory market has been officially closed since 1989, although legal domestic markets have continued throughout many different countries across the globe.

The current rate of decreasing elephant populations has reached a devastating state, with approximately one elephant being killed every 15 minutes, meaning that elephant populations across Africa have decreased by one third in just the past seven years, according to a recently published Great Elephant Census.

Illegal wildlife trade campaigner organisation WildAid’s CEO Peter Knights said, “China’s exit from the ivory trade is the greatest single step that could be taken to reduce poaching for elephants. We thank President Xi for his leadership and congratulate the State Forestry Administration for this timely plan. We will continue to support their efforts through education and persuading consumers not to buy ivory.”

China's ban comes as a great surprise to many, but it will certainly be the positive way forward for helping elephant populations to recover.

<p>Today, app-based technology facilitates most of our daily lives. In light of the relief efforts conducted by big tech companies during Hurricane Irma, it appears that this technology is also enabling a new generation of disaster response.</p>
<p>Before the onset of Hurricane Irma in Florida, hospitality service provider Airbnb activated its very own <a href="https://www.airbnb.com.mt/welcome/evacuees/hurricaneirmaevacuees">disaster response program</a> via their website. They encouraged hosts to list their homes for free in a call to action that read “if you have available housing in the area indicated on the map, please consider making your home available”. In addition, global technology giant Uber also placed a cap on fares ahead of Irma’s landfall. They did this so that no one would get a “higher than usual price” when trying to get around in South Florida.</p>

<p>Elon Musk, founder of Tesla also unlocked the full capabilities of the Tesla battery to help customers flee the storm. Tesla sent an email to its customers across Florida which read “Due to exceptional circumstances, and to help you better prepare to evacuate and get to safety, your vehicle has been adjusted at no cost to you to temporarily access the additional battery capacity until September 16th”. Once Irma changed course, Uber and Lyft responded quickly and offered free rides to shelters near Tampa.</p>
<p>Tech companies, like Uber and Airbnb have established a peer-to-peer model which allows customers to make informed decision when using their services. Now, these companies have been able to use their technology to support many people during a time of crisis. Although tech companies can seem detached from the rest of the world, it is nice to see some of them taking the initiative and offering free transportation, housing and other resources. Of course, being a good corporate citizen is great for PR, but if it also means that people on the ground get to benefit from innovative relief efforts, then that’s good too.</p>
