Prince William urges end to illegal ivory trade in China speech

Prince William has called for an end to the illegal trade in ivory, during an official visit to China.

The Duke of Cambridge praised efforts by the country's President Xi Jinping to halt the domestic trade but said "consumers [were] driving the demand for animal body parts".

"Only we, as consumers, can put the wildlife traffickers out of business, by ending our demand for their products", he said.
