It's #WorldElephantDay today so we're highlighting one of our beloved international clients: African elephants. The largest land mammal on Earth, elephants embody the African landscape. For 30 years the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro elephants have been safe from trophy hunters — but not anymore. Over the past few years, five iconic males were killed for hunting trophies in Tanzania. More remain at risk. The United States is the primary importer of Tanzanian elephant trophies. But there's a way we can help protect these elephants: A trophy import ban. Please join us in urging the usfws to ban all imports of elephant trophies from the Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro elephant population.
