HELP SAVE OUR ELEPHANTS!!


HELP SAVE OUR ELEPHANTS!!
The Issue
Elephant poaching has reached epidemic levels just because people like to own ivory trinkets! Up to 100 elephants are poached per day in Africa… one dies every 15 minutes. Extinction of elephants can happen in our lifetime unless the world takes serious action now.
Let's make a difference and SAVE THE ELEPHANTS!!
We would like to see Kenya taking more action to help win this battle by....
1. Declaring elephants, rhinos and lions National Treasures; finding innovative ways to generate revenue and to raise the budget for conservation; banning movement of trophies on the national airline, Kenya Airways; and promoting our wildlife in all aspects of Kenyan pride such as sports, business, music and arts
2. Investing in the Kenya Wildlife Service to ensure that it meets the demands of today's challenges whilst retaining flexibility to evolve and address the demands of tomorrow. This includes effective governance structures that enable public participation and provide accountability.
3. Making parks more accessible to the ordinary Kenyan and doing whatever it takes to get Kenyans to fall in love with wildlife.
4. Focusing on promoting the rule of law and eliminating corruption - through zero tolerance in the police, at ports, borders and in the Kenya Wildlife Service.
5. Formulating a national strategy to combat Transnational Wildlife Crime that enlists the support of government, private sector and non-government experts with the aim of disrupting trafficking cartels.
