We have the power to stop the extinction of elephants

Trading Ivory Leads to Poaching of Already Scarse Elephants. Demand CITES Permanently Bans the Sale of Ivory! Sign Now Dear friends, Kenyan Wildlife Authorities recently seized $1 million worth of elephant tusks bound for ivory markets in Asia. The growing demand of ivory has lead to skyrocketing rates of illegal poaching, and unless sales are permanently banned, elephants are likely to go extinct. For the past 20 years, members of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) have allowed a limited legal ivory trade. But as ivory prices continue to rise on the black market, hundreds of elephants are being slaughtered annually — threatening the already endangered populations. The illegal poaching of elephants is escalating and unless ivory sales are permanently banned, it is likely that these amazing creatures will no longer roam the earth. Sign this petition to urge CITES to permanently ban the sale of ivory once and for all! Thank you, Kelsey B. The Care2 Petitions Team P.S. We have the power to save elephants from extinction. Please sign the petition to make it happen!
