There was a sudden rise in ivory poaching in 2008 and 2009 because the United Nations allowed the first legal ivory auction in over a decade.

As much as 260 tons of ivory may have been poached in 2009. Using CITES' estimate of an average tusk weight of 8.11 pounds which means that as many as 33,000 elephants are being killed per year, therefore, if that rate is sustained, elephants are likely to extinct in 15 years.
