African Elephants are being killed at such an alarming rate – - TopicsExpress



          

African Elephants are being killed at such an alarming rate – 30,000 poached for their ivory annually -- that they could be gone entirely within a decade (a decade!) So you would think that everyone except poachers and wildlife traffickers would be happy with a White House plan to prohibit the import, export, or resale of elephant ivory here in most circumstances and including importation of antique ivory, which will close a major loophole that has enabled the U.S. ivory market to flourish. But apparently the National Rifle Association is gearing up to fight the ban. NRDC is ready to take them on including calling on our BioGems Defenders for citizen action in the months ahead so stay tuned.
