ACTION: PLEASE please sign! Help preserve elephant habitat in Sir-Lanka, Japanese interests have "bought" the government in an aggressive effort to ramp up agro-business - destroying critical and shrinking elephant habitat! Sign the petition and SHARE - two minutes of your time people, or less #SayNoToIovry#SayYesToElephants. "Corporate agriculture is invading Sri Lankan elephant territory and exacerbating the conflict between humans and elephants.The Sri Lankan government, under the sanction of the Economic Development Minister, the President’s brother, Basil Rajapaksha , is allowing multinationals like Dole Corporation to bulldoze elephant habitats including those inside national parks. This is being done to grow commercial crops such as bananas, pineapple and rubber. Dole sold its holdings in Sri Lanka to Itochu Corporation of Japan that is now getting ready to ramp up operations by clearing elephant habitat around Yala National Park." Thank you to Give a Shit about Elephants for this alert.
