Yang Zi WildAid Ambassador
As one of the most prominent young actors of her generation, Vogue Hong Kong’s January 2026 cover star Yang Zi has been a WildAid ambassador since 2019. She lent her voice to WildAid's elephant program by starring in ‘Be Their Role Model’ campaign which asks parents to use their actions to set good examples for the next generation by not consuming ivory and other wildlife products.
China has been successful — as promised to concerned environmentalists and elephant lovers worldwide — in significantly reducing the consumption of new ivory in a sequence of trade bans that took effect by the end of 2017.
Between 2018 and 2020, the global price of raw ivory dropped by 50% as China, the largest consumer, closed its domestic ivory markets. Researchers also noted that there was no great rush to buy ivory products in China, as the general public became aware of the pending shutdown.
It’s true that Chinese travelers remain the largest buyers of ivory worldwide, acquiring it in Cambodia, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam and Hong Kong and other locations in Southeast Asia. The black market now kills an estimated 20,000 elephants each year — and most are endangered species.
Yang Zi works with WildAid’s partnership with Shenzhen Airlines, where she reaches millions of travelers in search of banned ivory and similar products in these countries. Yang Zi also educates Chinese travelers not in search of ivory but headed towards ivory-selling countries, where they will be approached about buying ivory by local people.
