An elephant cannot just decide to stop growing tusks with the result that he/she never grows tusks.
However, evolution is starting to have an effect.
There have always been a few tuskless elephants.
Now the percentage of tuskless elephants is increasing. That’s because tuskless elephants are less likely to be shot by poachers, so they have a higher likelihood of reproducing, and they often produce tuskless elephants.
It’s evolution in action.
