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.

Находясь в отпуске, люди хотят купить что-то уникальное, чтобы показать дома, но иногда они покупают сувениры, не зная, что они незаконны! Итак, чего следует избегать туристам во время покупок за границей?

Ответ:

According to the text, tourists should avoid buying souvenirs made from ivory, turtle shells, and coral. These items are often illegal and contribute to the harm of endangered animals and ecosystems.

Согласно тексту, туристам следует избегать покупки сувениров, сделанных из слоновой кости, черепашьих панцирей и кораллов. Эти предметы часто являются незаконными и способствуют нанесению вреда исчезающим видам животных и экосистемам.
