Relocation of elephants from Botswana

The Issue

The ban on elephant hunting in Botswana has been lifted due to internal political pressure. This will result in an "open season" and culling of elephants in order to reduce agricultural damage and an increase in ivory trading.

This is a petition to relocate these elephants so that they may live, instead of suffering at the hands of hunters and increasing the flow to the ivory trade.
