Google must drop ivory adverts say campaigners
By Matt McGrath
Environment correspondent, BBC News
Campaigners say Google are encouraging the poaching of elephants by running advertisements promoting ivory products.
The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) says more than 10,000 ads about ivory were running on Google's Japanese shopping site.
They have written to the internet giant asking for their removal.
In response, Google said adverts relating to endangered species were not allowed on their sites.
