An embargo is a government-imposed restriction on the movement of goods or people. In this case, Canada has imposed an embargo on the import of ivory from any foreign nation, meaning that ivory cannot be brought into Canada from any other country. This is done in order to prevent the trade in illegal ivory and protect endangered species.
