Reposted from @abbas_mvungi Breaks my heart to find out that some countries are gathering in Zimbabwe trying to bring back the international commercial trade in ivory which has been banned for years. The three-day conference started on Monday attended by Representatives from Japan, China and other 16 African countries. Last week envoys from some European Union countries, Britain, the United States and Canada were guided through heavily guarded vaults in Harare that are filled with piles of elephant tusks, as one of many silly movements of Zimbabwe to try to win international support for legal sales of its stockpile of seized ivory. I am writing this post with a broken heart because the reopening of legal international trade in ivory trade, even for a single auction, would result in a massacre for the last African Giants, the elephants. The theory of Demand and Supply doesn’t work for ivory trade, In 1997 and 2008 , CITES, the UN agreement that bans the trade of endangered species, allowed a one-off sale of Ivory stocks from Namibia, Zimbabwe, Botswana and South Africa to Japan and China with expectations to cut elephant poaching by reducing supply of illegal ivory to the market. This ridiculous act catastrophically backfired and poaching went up quickly from very few elephants being poached each year to about 33,000 a year at the peak around 2011. Everyday, brave man and women in Africa(The rangers) are losing their lives in the battle against poaching and leaving their loved ones traumatized and you guys wants to escalate the situation over and over again?, for God’s sake please STOP and have MERCY for the elephants and the people working hard to protect them. #stopivorytrade #saynotoivory #stopelephantpoaching #savetheelephants #banivorytrade #cites #saynotopoaching #elephant #elephants #babyelephants #africanelephant #africanelephants #stopanimalabuse #stopit #havemercy #abbasmvungi https://www.instagram.com/p/CeAz2q3KZqW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

White hunter, black heart. This is an amazing movie about the evils of trophy hunting. It is about how during the filming of The African Queen, the director, John Wilson decided he would go kill an elephant because "It's a sin. It's the only sin you can buy a license to go out and commit." This movie was filmed in Zimbabwe, the country at the center of the elephant ivory debate. #clinteastwood @racingextinction #banivory #banivorytrade #banivorysales #zimbabwe #elephant #africanelephants #ivory #huntingtrophy #shootwithacamera #extinction #whitehunterblackheart #ecotourism #ivorytrade (at Zimbabwe)

These gentle giants are key to the ecosystem and they are not your medicine nor will they make you reach a live animal is much more worth than dead. Since December last year there are several elephants reported dead within @maasaimara and @maratriangle along other conservancies.

@Regran_ed from @elephant_of_ig - Heartbreaking💔footage has emerged of a baby elephant without his trunk in South Africa. Many believe the trunk may have been bitten off by a crocodile. The predator responsible was human- his trunk have been caught in a snare set by poachers💔💔 _____________________________________________________ ___________________________________ credit:@elephant.lover.s 🐘 #elephants #worldelephantday2018 #banivorytrade #elephant #elephantlove #animallove #animallover #iloveanimals #iloveelephants #favoriteanimal #cute #cuteemergency #bekindtoelephants #babyanimals #babyelephant #charity #wildlife #2018 #phenomenal #notrophyhunting #wildlifephotography #savetheelephants #elephantastic #phantastic - #regrann https://www.instagram.com/p/BqhivTvFg-i/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=dj3tnukrl0fd

Repost By lewa_wildlife: An elephant calf enjoys a mud bath at @r.e.s.c.u.e, the newly launched, community-led elephant sanctuary based here in northern Kenya, at Namunyak Community Conservancy. African communities have been custodians of #elephants and other #wildlife for centuries, but modern challenges such as #poaching and habitat loss require these communities to come up with initiatives such as @r.e.s.c.u.e to ensure survival of the species. Visit @amivitale's Instagram for more on this incredible sanctuary.

Last of the Big Tuskers — Satao was one of the largest African elephants. His tusks were so long that they almost touched the ground. This iconic giant was killed in 2014 by poachers using a poisoned arrow. Then in 2017, Satao 2 another African tusker, was poached in Tsavo, leaving only 6 of these giants in Southern Kenya. - tuskers milky green short sleeve jumpsuit + reversible knotted beanie detail www.redcariboushop.com - #redcaribou #littlegarmentsforgreatadventures #SafariStampede #awildlifestory #ss18 #begoodtoanimals #worthmorealive #banivorytrade (at Red Caribou Shop)
