    I could be repeating something, but my Dad is a vet and has worked with the Krueger Park (probably one of the best game reserves in the world, the only place you can see all the big five at once) and he did a lot of work with elephants and breeding and making sure the herds were healthy. When an animal dies of natural causes, or the herd gets too big and they cull one or two, then the ivory is sold, but it is very very expensive. BTW, culling the herd IS necessary, as elephants aren't these harmless things everyone talks about and sees at the zoo. In the wild they knock whole trees down, strip all the bark off of them, eat all the foliage, etc. A manageable herd size this will be fine, if the herd overpopulates they begin to literally destroy acres of habitat, which will eventually lead to their starvation, and the starvation of other species as well.
