The Elephant Needs A Jersey Comeback This Princeton University professor sets the record straight FOR elephants in todays The Times of Trenton. Andy Dobson has taught courses on conservation biology and population ecology and has worked on elephants and the ivory trade for more than 25 years. The proposed legislation to ban trade in ivory in New Jersey will set a strong precedent to other states to pass similar legislation; it will send a message that China needs to hear that all trade in ivory, elephant and other endangered species, is illegal, unethical and ultimately unsustainable, Professor Dobson wrote this July of S.2012, an important bill to save elephants from extinction on the desk of Governor Chris Christie. The Princeton professor continued, I strongly urge Gov. Christie to sign measure S2012 now on his desk. It will make a big difference for elephants and send a strong message that trade in New Jersey is vibrant but bounded by strong ethical consideration.
