The reports from Africa and Asia are absolutely terrifying. Ivory poachers are killing an average of one elephant EVERY DAY... and unless we take immediate action, the killings will increase at the end of November.
The vast majority of African and Asian countries are fighting to save elephants, but a powerful minority in southern Africa wants to reopen the trade in elephant ivory.
Their proposal will be accepted or rejected at the November meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in Santiago, Chile.
The mere suggestion of a renewed ivory trade has already spawned a wave of elephant killings across Asia and Africa, so if these proposals succeed, elephant herds will be decimated.
IT IS NOT TOO LATE to stop the slaughter. We urgently need you to take action, tell your friends and family about this campaign. We need a massive show of support, so please do it right now. At this point every minute counts for the elephants.
The battle to save Africa and Asia’s last remaining elephant herds could be decided in the next few weeks. Now more than ever, please lend a hand by signing the petition below!
