Illegal Souvenirs

When on holiday, people want to buy something unique to show people back home, but sometimes they buy souvenirs not knowing that they are illegal! So, what should tourists avoid when shopping abroad?

Ivory

Ivory is a white material that comes from elephant tusks. Trading ivory is illegal worldwide because elephants are endangered animals. Every year, up to 27,000 elephants disappear from Africa's savannahs. Poachers take their tusks and sell them to make jewellery such as bracelets and necklaces. Tourists often buy these items thinking that they are supporting local tribesmen. The truth, though, is that they are bringing the African elephant one step closer to extinction.

Turtle Shell

Sea turtles have a hard covering, or shell, which protects them from harm. The sea turtle shell is a popular souvenir around the world, from Indonesia to the Caribbean. Tourists buy turtle shell souvenirs like combs, masks and jewellery. In most of these places, though, sea turtles are protected by law, which means selling their body parts is illegal. Scientists believe that, because humans have hunted turtles so much, the population of sea turtles has declined by as much as 90 percent in the last 100 years.

Coral

Coral reefs are some of the most beautiful natural organisms in the world. You might know that coral reefs are under threat from global warming, but another threat to them is coral poaching. This is when people dive into coral reefs and break off pieces of coral. They then use this coral to make expensive jewellery. In East Asia, people also believe that coral jewellery can help cure various illnesses. It's true that in some places you can buy coral jewellery legally, but the next time you see a coral bracelet, stop and think about the future of the world's coral reefs.

1. Посмотрите на картинки и прочитайте заголовки. Как вы думаете, почему эти сувениры незаконны?

Ответ:

These souvenirs are illegal because they are made from parts of endangered or protected animals and organisms. Their trade contributes to the decline of these species and damages ecosystems.

Ivory: It is illegal because it comes from elephant tusks. Elephants are endangered animals, and trading ivory is banned worldwide to protect them.

Turtle Shell: It is illegal because it comes from sea turtles. In most places, sea turtles are protected by law, which means selling their body parts is not allowed. This is because their population has declined drastically due to hunting.

Coral: Taking coral is often illegal because it involves breaking off pieces from coral reefs. This is a form of poaching that damages these fragile natural organisms, which are already under threat from global warming.

Эти сувениры являются незаконными, поскольку они сделаны из частей вымирающих или охраняемых животных и организмов. Торговля ими способствует сокращению численности этих видов и наносит ущерб экосистемам.

Слоновая кость: Она незаконна, потому что её добывают из бивней слонов. Слоны — это вымирающие животные, и торговля слоновой костью запрещена во всём мире для их защиты.

Черепаший панцирь: Он незаконен, потому что его получают от морских черепах. В большинстве мест морские черепахи охраняются законом, а это значит, что продавать части их тел запрещено. Это связано с тем, что их популяция резко сократилась из-за охоты.

Коралл: Добыча кораллов часто является незаконной, так как для этого отламывают куски от коралловых рифов. Это форма браконьерства, которая наносит вред этим хрупким природным организмам, уже находящимся под угрозой из-за глобального потепления.
