根据下列内容,回答191-195题。African elephants have been slaughtered at alarming rate over the past decade, largely be-cause they are the primary source of the world's ivory. Their population has been dwindled from1.3 million in 1979 to just 625,000 today, and the rate of killing has been accelerating in recentyears because many of the older, bigger tusked animals have already been destroyed. "The poach-ers now must kill times as many elephants to get the same quantity of ivory." explained CurtisBohlen, Senior vice president of the World Wildlife Fund.Though its record on the environment has been spotty so far, the government last week tookthe lead in a major conservation issue by imposing a ban on ivory imports into the US. The movecame just four days after a consortium of conservation groups, including the World Wildlife Fundand Wildlife Conservation International, called for that kind of action, and it made the US the firstnation to forbid imports of both raw and finished ivory. The ban, says Bohlen, sends a very clearmessage to the ivory poachers that the game is over.In the past African nations have resisted an ivory ban, but increasingly they realized that thedecimation of the elephant herds poses a serious threat to their tourist business. Last month Tanza-nia and several other African countries called for an amendment to the 102 nation Convention onInternational Trade in Endangered Species that would make the ivory trade illegal worldwide. Theamendment is expected to be approved at an October meeting in Geneva and to go into effect nextJanuary. But between now and then, conservationists contend, poachers may go on a rampage,killing elephants wholesale, so nations should unilaterally forbid imports right away. The US gov-ernment brought that argument, and by week's end the twelve nation European Community hadfollowed with its own ban.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?___________

A.African Elephants and the Ivory TradeB.A Bid to Save the ElephantC.The PoachersD.Elephants in Danger
