PROPOSAL 66.4.1 Restrict wild-caught live elephants to in-situ conservation programs in natural historical home ranges in Africa #CoP19 @CITES ⁦@vonderleyen⁩ ⁦@GreensEFA⁩

[Jay Naidoo @Jay_Naidoo]

It says it all. 27 COPS. A deepening climate crisis. And we are expected to be optimistic about the bureaucrats sitting behind closed doors. Now is the time to stand up and be counted as humanity.🙏🏾

[Jay Naidoo @Jay_Naidoo]

Only the ignorant amongst us believe that animals are not also sentient beings with a Spirit. Especially elephants are sacred symbols of inner power across traditions. A zoo is an absolete idea and a travesty. 🙏🏾

Elephants Thrive in Sanctuaries Over Zoos https://t.co/OnsFl02Yx4 wildlife specialists are speaking out in increasing numbers against zoo captivity. Meanwhile campaigners across the globe continue to fight for the release of elephants held in confinement. @CITES #CoP19

[Dr Richard Ssuna @RichardSsuna]

Trophy hunting is lies, propaganda, corruption, social injustice, exploitation, psychotic, ..…..all wrapped in one. It's definitely not conservation! #BanTrophyHunting

“When the last tree has been cut down, the last fish caught, the last river poisoned, only then will we realise that one cannot eat money” We cannot allow ourselves to fall into a state of apathy. @CITES #CoP19

“10 African countries will also propose an end to the trade in wild-caught elephants, uplisting would provide unified protection for elephants across the continent” https:// #CITES #CoP19 https://t.co/RLz5aj6Olz

Please support the proposal of bringing elephants to the highest protection level by uplisting them from Appendix II to Appendix I list. No one country owns the elephants!

The export of live wild-caught elephants should only be permissible to destinations within the natural range state of the species for in situ conservation reasons. VIDEO: Zimbabwean elephants filmed at Changxing Taihu Longzhimeng Animal World 2019 @CITES #CoP19
