There may be as many as 150 million dead mammoths frozen beneath the permafrost in Russia and the resulting melts of global warming is making their retrieval easier.Mammoth mining is serious business in Siberia, every year 60 M tones of mammoth ivory is shipped to China, the world's largest ivory market. Mammoth ivory can command a much higher price than elephant ivory and sells for as much as £330 per kilogramMammoth ivory is now being seen as an ecological and ethical alternative to elephant ivory, as mammoths are not illegally poached and are not decreasing the numbers of a living species. This trade could reduce demand for elephant ivory and thus reduce poaching of the African Elephant. However, there is a fear that if mammoth ivory enters Africa it could provide an easy disguise for poached elephant ivory.
