Ivory Poaching Ban, a very interesting article

We have long been worried that the Ivory ban might be lifted from East Africa and after months of nail biting and some incredibly hard work from some very dedicated people, we have won. Ivory trade is still banned!

Please go to this web site and read a very interesting article:

Elephants or Ivory?

 

This week two countries are seeking to break the worldwide ban on ivory trading - a decision that could wipe out the whole elephant population and bring these magnificent animals closer to extinction.  But many African states and conservationists support extending the ban on elephant-slaughtering ivory trade.  

The decision will be made at a UN meeting in Doha starting on the 13th March and global public opinion could tip the balance!

Please sign the petition now using the form below, then spread the word - let us deliver hundreds of thousands of signatures to the UN convention before it is too late!
