Urge the Chinese Government to ban the import wild-caught live baby elephants.
Keep baby elephants in the wild!
African elephant poaching has reached crisis level with about 100 African elephants poached every day for their ivory.
In the midst of this crisis, Zimbabwe is exporting dozens of baby elephants to China for $60,000 each, while claiming overpopulation as the motivation for export. Three out of four elephant calves exported from Zimbabwe to China in 2012 have since died, and the same fate most likely awaits this new round of calves destined to live out their lives in solitary confinement as show animals or zoo attractions.
Join us in urging the Chinese Government to implement a complete ban on imports of wild-caught live elephants to end this cruel trade once and for all.
