President Obama and Congress: Thank You For Taking A Stand Against Wildlife Trafficking

The U.S. has had enough with the illegal wildlife trade. In September, the bipartisan END Wildlife Trafficking Act was passed by the House and Senate. On October 7, President Obama signed it into law.

Wildlife trafficking threatens elephants, rhinos, lions and other majestic African species. The industry has also been linked to other transnational organized criminal activities, including trafficking in narcotics, weapons, and humans.

This law is an important step in the fight to protect wildlife. It seeks to protect the remaining populations of species like elephants and rhinos from poaching. It is also designed to foster a collaborative, interagency approach to combating wildlife trafficking and to assist range countries in the implementation of national wildlife anti-trafficking and poaching laws.

Sign and thank the President and Congress for enacting the End Wildlife Trafficking Act.
