Even if this is NOT YET a movie it is time to do something no matter how smallBut 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 on 13 March, and global public opinion could tip the balance!
Sign the petition now using the form below, then spread the word -- let's deliver hundreds of thousands of signatures to the UN convention before it's too late.
Tanzania and Zambia are lobbying the UN for special exemptions from the ban, but this would send a clear signal to the ivory crime syndicates that international protection is weakening and it's open-season on elephants. Another group of African states have countered by calling to extend the trade ban for 20 years.
Our best chance to save the continent's remaining elephants is to support African conservationists. We only have 5 days left and the UN Endangered Species body only meets every 3 years.

Just maybe these poachers should be rounded up and THEIR body parts put on the open market. But that would be unethical since they are meeting a demand that is not of their making. Do they have much choice? Isn’t it easy to be sanctimonious!
