    I love elephants! The government should protect them at all cost and ban ivory sell and trade. The thought of elephants being killed for ivory is horrible and an absolute waste of valuable life. We need to raise awareness and our voices to protect elephants.

    Thank-God China has finally banned the sale of ivory......ivory prices have already plummeted........Now if Vietnam and all other nations that allow the legal sale of ivory would do the same........perhaps the tide can be turned......

    Thank you for this informative video, so many orphans....sad that there is no end to this grave issue, as evidenced by the need to conduct an international march on Oct 4th, 2013

    Do you want to save elephants ? "Just Do NOT buy ivory."
    How hard can it be ???
    Buying any ivory item makes you directly responsible for murdering an elephant.
    Shame on you.

    Excellent youtube hard not to cry. Every baby elephant we see in the youtube came there from trauma and I listened to Dame Sheldrick's audio book. Heart breaking but like the elephants she has learned to endure and so much love. Goodness is unforgettable. Thank you because not u to flight to India.

    Please save the elephants by NOT buying any ivory item. How hard can it be ?
    If you buy any ivory item you are directly responsible of killing a magnificent animal.

      rzadan that's right, buying ivory creates a demand.

    • @cacatr4495
      @cacatr4495 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      In some ways, yes. But passionately loving elephants would make it less so; it would be A JOY. A precious and invaluable thing they do, but they do get great heart-reward!

      I wish I knew all about all of them, but while I love them, I don't work with DSWT, so I'm sorry, I don't. But you can go to the DSWT website and look up the elephants, I believe. Hopefully, you can find out there. If not, maybe someone else here will know and answer, or maybe you'll ask DSWT by email. I'd check the website first. I believe they post their website in the video description. 😊.

    • @lyla1976

      I checked the website I couldn't find anything about him. Thx for your help.

      So then, I'd email, asking the very specific questions that are on your heart.

    Against the killing of elephants for ivory, there are many countermeasures: Reminton, S&W, Mauser etc.

    For the Chinese this is just a very small problem, compared with their problems "at home". In the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam the Netherlands, you see them carefully photographing ivory art and trinkets from the 17th century, There's one luck for the African elephants: the weather modification, that makes Siberia a treasure land for mammoth ivory

    Make sure you are all making these videos with a Chinese translation. Also, this will require women of stature to create a bad stigma associated with ivory. And also we need to sell a fake ivory and make it cool :) As was done with the fur trade. It doesn't eliminate the problem completely, but it does considerably reduce demand :) Thank you heroes :)

    A wonderful initivative. Sad to think tough that some of these elephants will be killed for their ivory tusks some day in the future.
