At Heathrow with Border Force, naturalist @SteveBackshall has been hearing about how we’re extending our world-leading Ivory Act.

The illegal ivory and wildlife trade is totally unacceptable and we are taking action to stop it.

Great news for animals! The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs @DefraGovUK plans to extend the UK Ivory Act to cover ivory from 5 other species. Hippos, walruses, narwhals, killer whales & sperm whales are animals that could join the list. https://t.co/K25Hx8JQ9V

[Wildlife and Countryside Link @WCL_News]

In 2021 we called for ban on Elephant ivory trade in UK to be extended to other threatened species🐘

Good news this morning as Government confirms this extension to cover hippos, narwhals & more🦛

We quickly need secondary legislation to turn this announcement into reality📜
