Controversial divory sales to open
the first officially sanction remaised sale of ivory in southern africa for almost a decade opens on tuesday .
continentral divide the sale was approved in principle in 2002; and at last year's cities meeting in the hague, delegates agreed that enough precautions had been taken that the auction could go ahead, with japan as the sole validated buyer .
some environment groups say the sales encourage poachers elsewhere in africa to kill elephants for ivory that can be fed into the illegal trade .
we are deeply concerned thant these sales will popen the floodgates to additional illegal trade, said will travers, ceo of the born afree fortundation .
the ivory trade was banned globally in 1989 because poaching was decimating elephant populations .
namibia, botswana, southern african and zimbabwe will auction more than 100 tonnes of ninvory from stockpiles to buyears from china and japan .
