In a huge step for elephant conservation, the UK is introducing one of the world’s toughest ivory bans, China has completely banned ivory sales, closing the world’s largest domestic ivory market and Hong Kong and Taiwan are strengthening their own bans. Meanwhile, the United States is taking a step backwards, to ease the import of so called “elephant trophies.”
Musician Dave Matthews along with organizations like Conservation International are taking a stand for elephants and for the communities protecting them and you can join us in making an IMPACT. I am honored to have made a film with Dave at the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in Kenya, the very first community-owned and run elephant sanctuary in all of Africa. Watch the film of Dave and his incredible song “Mother of Africa” and more importantly, enter to win a chance to visit the sanctuary yourself through Prizeo!
By entering, you will receive a chance to win a 7-day luxury safari in Kenya to visit Reteti, Sarara Camp and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, a trip to see Dave at the final concert of this tour at theHollywood Bowl AND receive a beautiful Rockbridge Guitar with a custom inlay of an elephant hand-drawn by Dave. The first $10,000 in funds raised will be generously matched by Elephant Gems.
The more contributions you make, the better your chances of winning. Please help us SHARE the news on Facebook, Twitter and via Email, even if you can’t enter, and go check out one of Dave’s concerts where he will be showing my film and an exhibition of my images from Reteti and Ol Pejeta at all 47 of his shows this summer! The film and prizes are available on all my social networks and website.
Thank you sincerely for your help.
Warmest regards,
