#Repost @claireskiwoo ・・・ Can we hit 8000 signatures? 💜🐘 This is Galla. He's an orphan elephant who I foster. He will turn 3 years old on Christmas Day! Galla lives in safety @dswt with his family of other orphans and keepers. Galla's future is under new threat. The U.S. government is preparing to pass a Bill that will secure the extinction of African elephants like Galla. Don Young, Republican for Alaska introduced H.R. 226; the African Elephant Conservation and Legal Ivory Possession Act. This Bill would allow ivory to be traded both, within the U.S. and also to be imported and exported. This is despite the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service banning the sale of elephant ivory in interstate commerce. Conservation experts agree that any trade in ivory only serves to undermine efforts to stop poaching and trophy hunting as it keeps the demand for ivory alive. This Bill is entirely audacious because it uses legitimate elephant conservation measures as a thin veil of justification for trophy hunting and ivory trading. Anti-poaching units/programs are exploited in this Bill by painting a picture that anti-poaching measures can work alongside trophy hunting. This is a gross fabrication. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• If poaching/hunting continues, the African elephant could be extinct by 2020 (WildAid, 2014). Please help to stop this Bill from being passed and written into legislation by clicking on the 🆘🆘⚠LINK IN MY BIO @claireskiwoo to sign the petition.

#Repost a la #wildographer @chancellordavid ・・・ The extraordinary markings of a king cheetah, stalking prey, South Africa-photograph by David Chancelllor @chancellordavid - King cheetah are infrequently seen in the wild. The last recorded sighting of a king cheetah in the wild was in 1986 in the Kruger National Park. They occur naturally in a localised area that covers adjoining portions of Botswana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa (northern and eastern regions of the Limpopo Province). During the 1980s, a number of litters born in captivity contained king cheetah cubs, and since then it has become customary for some of the breeding facilities to focus on sustaining blood lines with the intention of breeding king cheetahs at will. The gene appears to be carried at a low frequency in the wild, and its occurrence is localised. HESC @hesc_endangeredspeciescentre in South Africa has a genetic pool of king cheetah genes that can make it possible to breed king cheetah as colour variant without the intention of breeding the king cheetah for commercial purposes. #stopthetrade #cheetah #stoppoaching #cats #bigcats #southafrica #conserving #conservation #wildlife #wildlifetrade

#Repost from our friends at @stopfinningeu @download.ins --- SharkAwarenessDay 2020 – thanks for the overwhelming support & keep on voting! We want to thank everyone who got involved and raised with us awareness for sharks! Sharks are probably the most misunderstood and vilified animals on this planet. Fortunately this is starting to change and there is a visible positive shift in attitudes towards sharks. However, if #StopFinningEU shall succeed with its demand to end the sharkfin trade in Europe, we need 1 million votes! So keep on voting and sharing our Citizens´ Initiative – Link in Bio.
