I personally want to thank everyone that has signed the petition to help African elephants get designated as "Highly Endangered" at the CITES Convention in South Africa. The signatures have been delivered to the CITES delegates, and your signatures will help elephants, that have no voice of their own, to be able to have the most protection that we can give them. It is up to the delegates of CITES, and I won't kid you, we are up against a lot of countries that would like to continue the ivory trade. It will be a bit of an uphill battle, but with your support, we are doing what we can to stand up for elephants. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Gina McBride.
