Closed elephant tusks and China

Closed on

We call upon the UK Government to apply pressure on The Government of The Peoples Republic of China to make the import and use of Ivory from Elephant tusks illegal and punishable by a long jail term. We also call upon the UK Government to actively encourage other governments to apply similar pressure on China. Sanctions must be applied to all Chinese imports until China ceases all trade in Elephant tusks
