20,000 African elephants illegally killed every year

          
                        Endangered elephants are being illegally slaughtered for trinkets.

                        Now, some countries want to make it legal and overturn the global ban on ivory trading.

                        Protect elephants and demand the ivory trade ban remains in place!

            Elephants are being slaughtered so their tusks can be turned into trinkets. And now, some governments want to make it legal. Japan and South Africa are pushing to overturn the global ivory trading ban and reopen the market for elephant tusks.

            20,000 African elephants are illegally killed each year for their tusks. A legal ivory trade could wipe out endangered populations.

            In just a few months world leaders will gather at the Endangered Species Convention and the ivory ban is on the agenda. To make sure it’s kept in place let's build a massive wave of public pressure and show them that millions want to protect elephants.

            Sign the petition: protect elephants – keep the global ivory trading ban.

            Forest elephants are gentle, intelligent beings who form lifelong family bonds, and even mourn their dead. But their populations in Africa have already declined by 90% because of illegal poaching that turns their beautiful tusks into art and jewellery.

            Instead of enabling legal ivory trading, conservation efforts should be going towards protecting endangered elephant populations, tackling habitat loss and planning for human and elephant co-existence. These solutions would also provide jobs for locals and create sustainable tourism opportunities.

            Add your name and demand the global ivory trade ban stays in place.

            We’ve stopped this type of cruelty before—let’s do it again and protect the world’s last elephants before it’s too late.
