With the rising Chinese economy and the lust for ivory as status symbols, African elephants are being poached at record levels (25,000 per year). Likewise rhinos are being poached in record numbers for their horns as a "perceived" aphrodisiac. If we don't take action again NOW their populations will be gone in our lifetime. Please sign the petition to ask the President of the People's Republic of China to enact stiffer laws punishing those caught buying AND selling illegally poached ivory and rhino horn.
