What will the Chinese and others do for ivory once they have driven the elephant extinct?

Invent a synthetic.

I don't care about the superstitious Chinese who think ivory will give them virility. I care about the elephants.

Our planet needs the wild creatures more than we need the Chinese, or any other nationality.

At the rate they are having elephants killed for their ivory, the buyers - mostly Chinese - will probably drive the elephant extinct within a few years. What will they do for ivory then?
