Every day, elephants continue to be threatened in the wild by the trade for their ivory.

I support a new report from WildAid and the Japan Tiger & Elephant Fund, which shows that domestic ivory sales in Japan help supply illegal exports of ivory to other countries. yuriko.koike tokyo_gov: Please end ivory sales and help protect the world’s elephants.
