Hi John,

Africa's savanna elephants are family-oriented, deeply intelligent animals who work together to locate food and water and care for their young.

But trophy hunters shoot these majestic animals for thrills — and then try to bring elephant parts back to the United States.

This horrific practice must end immediately. Please give to the Saving Life on Earth Fund to help us protect these majestic creatures.

Savanna elephant populations have plunged 50% over the past 75 years and are protected under the Endangered Species Act.

That's why it's infuriating that the U.S. government still allows the live trade of elephants and the importation of elephant parts.

Elephants deserve to live in the wild — not to be ripped from their homes and sold into captivity, or killed just to be turned into foot stools or wall décor.

U.S. trophy hunters play an outsized role in killing African animals for sport. In Zimbabwe, U.S. hunters historically made up half of the wildlife-hunting market — all to collect elephant heads, feet, tails, skins and ivory.

The Biden administration isn't doing enough to save elephants. The only acceptable solution to this brutal practice is banning the importation of these killing spoils.

Such a ban would deter hunters and send a powerful message that to combat extinction, the United States will not condone the killing of these extraordinary animals for sport.

The devastating biodiversity crisis must be met with a bold, uncompromising response.

Please help us fight for elephants and wildlife on the brink by giving today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
