   Late last year, the Environmental Investigation 1 Agency, in Washington DC, said Yahoo Japan had auctioned 2 more than 12 tonnes of ivory products, including whole elephant tusks 3, in 2012-14.


  据位于华盛顿的一家环境调查机构去年底的报告称,在2012年到2014年间,通过雅虎日本拍卖网站出售的包括整个象牙在内的象牙制品超过了12吨。
  Fake documents had enabled traders to "legalise" more than 1,000 tusks a year since 2011, it said.
  该报告指出,自2011年以来,因为伪造文书而使得交易变得“合法化”,共计约1000多只象牙被交易。
  Individually owned tusks face no registration 4 requirement in Japan, and the tusks are not marked in any way to ensure the documents are valid 5 for the items being registered.
  在日本,私人拥有象牙无需登记,且没有任何方式来保证这些交易产品的文书合法有效。
  In September, the US and China agreed to work toward nearly complete bans on the ivory trade, and Japan is increasingly isolated 6 in its stance favouring continued sales.
  去年9月,中国和美国达成共识,几乎完全停止了象牙贸易。而日本仍偏向持续象牙贸易的立场,这也使得日本越来越被孤立起来。
  雅虎日本三年之内一共卖掉12吨象牙
  The international environmental campaign group Avaaz addressed its petition to Yahoo chief executive Marissa Mayer, Manabu Miyasaka, chief executive of Yahoo Japan, part-owned by Yahoo Inc. and Softbank Corp, and "all other companies allowing ivory sales online".
  国际环保运动组织Avaaz向雅虎首席执行官玛丽莎·梅耶尔、由美国雅虎和日本软银合资的雅虎日本的总裁Manabu Miyasaka,以及“所有其它允许象牙交易的电商” 发起了请愿。
  "As global citizens, we are appalled 7 that you allow ivory to be sold on your site/platform, fuelling elephant extinction," it said. "We call on you to urgently stop all ivory sales from sites/platforms in Japan and all other markets."
  在请愿书中这样写道:“作为全球公民,我们感到很震惊,你们的网站居然允许交易象牙,这会让大象处于灭绝的边缘。我们呼吁马上停止在日本的电商网站/平台及其它市场上的象牙交易。”
  Yahoo Japan was in touch with the local environment ministry 8 and other agencies on the issue, as well as with Yahoo and other shareholders 9, Ms Kaminaga said. Asked if the company might alter its stance, she replied: "You can't say there's absolutely no intention to change."
  雅虎日本的发言人Takako Kaminaga女士表示,雅虎日本与当地环境部和其他相关机构,以及雅虎、其他股东就此事进行过联系。当被问及该公司是否会改变立场时,她回答说:“你不能说绝对没有改变的打算。”
