An unimaginable tragedy of killing and suffering is unfolding in Africa every day, as elephants are being killed and maimed on an industrial scale never seen before. 35,000 elephants are killed each year for their tusks.

At this rate, many localized populations could disappear within 10 years. Just 35 years ago there were 1.3 million elephants in Africa, and today that number is only 200,000. We must join together NOW to stop the killing.
