More About ivory
Long ago, people used ivory to make many things. They made tools, art, and games. It was very special and hard to find. People liked it a lot.
Today, we see ivory in some old things. But we must be careful. Some animals are hurt for their ivory. We should not let that happen.
In the future, we can help save these animals. We can learn to use other things. This way, we can keep the animals safe and still make art!
