<P><B>Elephants are being slaughtered so their tusks can be turned
into trinkets</B>. And now, some governments want to make it legal.
Japan and South Africa are <B>pushing to overturn the global ivory
trading ban</B> and reopen the market for elephant tusks.</P>
<P><B>20,000 African elephants are illegally killed each year</B>
for their tusks. <B>A legal ivory trade could wipe out endangered
populations.</B></P>
<P>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 <B>let's build a massive wave of public pressure
and show them that millions want to protect elephants.</B></P>

ivory trading ban.</A></P>
<P><B>Forest elephants are gentle, intelligent beings who form
lifelong family bonds</B>, 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.</P>
<P>Instead of enabling legal ivory trading, <B>conservation efforts
should be going towards protecting endangered elephant populations,
tackling habitat loss and planning for human and elephant
co-existence</B>. These solutions would also provide jobs for locals
and create sustainable tourism opportunities.</P>
