I have an update on elephants for you
WWF Action Network - Sara Thomas
I am excited to report back to you that, last week, we turned in our public comment on the US ivory regulations along with the signatures of 1 million WWF supporters—including yours—to the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
This marks WWF's most successful petition drive ever in the US, and the first time in the history of the USFWS that the agency can confirm they have received more than 1 million comments on a proposed rule from a single organization. Thank you for being a part of this with us.
I continue to be moved by the commitment of supporters like you. This dedication to wild elephants from you and your fellow WWF activists comes on the heels of an important meeting between President Obama and President Xi Jinping of China, where they announced a shared commitment to end the global illegal ivory trade.
It is because of people like you that I continue to have hope. Together, we are making change happen.
I'll continue to keep you updated as work on this issue progresses and opportunities for your involvement arise. Until then, please accept this downloadable desktop reminder of the impact your voice has when you raise it in support of the species and places that need it most.
