The Elephanatics team is running a campaign in support of our petition (over 35,000 signatories)
Please join the #ivoryfreecanada campaign today!
Did you know it is still legal to buy and sell ivory in Canada? Both African and Asian elephants may be extinct in the wild in our lifetime, mainly due to poaching. Elephanatics created the #ivoryfreecanada campaign to help keep our elephants alive. We wrote a letter to the Canadian government, requesting a ban on all domestic trade of elephant ivory. Over 80 Canadian and international scientists, politicians and animal organisations have co-signed the letter!
Now We Need Your Help!
- Download the #ivoryfreecanada mini-poster or create your own with the same hashtag. Take a photo of you holding it and post it on social media with the handles: #ivoryfreecanada and @elephanaticsbc. Challenge your friends to do the same to save elephants.
- Email your photo to elephanaticsinfo@gmail.com and we will add it to this page.
- Sign the petition that will also go to the government. We need as many signatures as possible (Canadian or international citizens) before March 14, 2018. Share it on facebook and twitter.
- Tell your friends and family about the elephant crisis and how a domestic ban on elephant ivory trade would help.
In the last century, the Asian elephant population has declined by over 50% and African elephants have plummeted by 97%. Poaching for ivory threatens the very survival of our elephants. The two largest consumers of ivory – China and the United States – have banned domestic ivory sales. So why not Canada?
