ILLEGAL WILDLIFE TRADE CAMPAIGN

 WWF and IFAW have released a joint reactive statement.

Washington, D.C. (September 9, 2013) – The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s announcement today that it will destroy the U.S. stockpile of illegal ivory – 6 tons of it seized by U.S. authorities – is an important signal for the need to end trafficking in illegal elephant products. A recent surge in this illicit trade has resulted in the killing of 30,000 African elephants annually in recent years.
