Emergency Elephant Move in Malawi
IFAW is partnering with the
government of Malawi in an
epic rescue effort to move elephants from fierce human-elephant conflict in
the Phirilongwe area, just south of Lake
Malawi.
We are
moving the whole herd to Majete Wildlife Reserve, a
protected park 250 km away.
In this picture, one of the tranquilized elephants is winched aboard a recovery vehicle.
Victory for Seals in Europe!
MEP Robert Evans & MEP Frieda Brepoels in Strasbourg holding postcards from IFAW supporters across the EU calling for the ban of seal products .
The European Parliament voted in favour of a ban on the trade of all seal products within the EU. This is a significant victory in IFAW’s 40 year campaign to end Canada’s commercial seal hunt. The ban will forbid the sale of seal products for profit within the EU.
We now need your help more than ever to end this cruel and unnecessary hunt.
