Japan: ban ivory now!
Avaaz (https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/japan_ivory_cites_loc/?blpciab&v=117627&cl=16010813221&_checksum=2f0f9ecfab36c1da3601788ef113905826752c60 2d858a1d6a50ffb1fc550076)
The best type of ivory comes from the middle of the elephant’s tusk, where it’s firm and flawless. Poachers try to slaughter the largest elephant -- often the matriarch, leaving her baby elephants to fend for themselves.
And the craziest thing? While tens of thousands of elephants are being hacked to death that way, Japan is fighting to keep its booming ivory market open -- saying it has nothing to do with it.
But Japan is hosting the Olympics in 2020, and is hoping to welcome millions more tourists! That's where we come in: many of us live in countries that Japan wants to attract for tourism. If millions of us sign and we launch a global media campaign for an ivory-free Olympics, we can win them over!
Sign now -- and let's together shut down one of the biggest domestic ivory markets in the world for good.
Sign the petition
To Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Governor Yuriko Koike, and the Japanese government:
We call on you to close Japan’s domestic trade in ivory, end all ivory exports, and support efforts to ban the global ivory trade. As you prepare to welcome the world for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Japan must do all it can to create a lasting legacy and prevent elephants being driven to extinction.
