3. An urgent call to action from Jane Goodall
Dr Goodall is deeply concerned about the plight of elephants worldwide and says it’s time to stop the barbaric ivory business. In Central African Republic, poachers and rebels are wantonly killing forest elephants. Please sign and circulate this Avaaz petition today. As Jane says, “Together we can make a difference.”
