Get the EU commission to reverse their ivory ban decision

As part of the exit strategy from the EU, we should make sure the UK Government is clear in its opposition to the EU Commission's decision to oppose the total ban on ivory trade.
And the UK Government should lobby the governments of those countries that are in favour of so the called 'sustainable ivory' trade.

Why is this important?

Because by allowing even a limited trade in ivory it will lead to the extinction of elephants in the wild within 25 years.
The ivory trade is also a driver of criminal activity that causes misery and hardships to many African Communities.
