Despite the CITES Treaty of 1989, which banned the global trade in ivory and rhino horn, the illegal business of killing elephants and maiming rhinos continues.
This URGENT issue isn't just about protecting 'cute little elephants'. If
China succeeds in killing all of Africa's species (with their ivory, rhino
horn, etc demand), they will have killed Africans' livelihoods (tourism) as
well. In desperation to regain some semblance of econ. independence,
Africans will have no other choice but to resign themselves to the Chinese
agenda that is stealthy and ruthlessly coalescing in Africa as we speak,
e.g. exploiting African workers/stripping their resources.
These poachers have no concience whatsoever. Here in the Kruger National
Park 2012 Rhinos were poached during the period 1 Jan - 30 April 2013. A
total of 1024 have been poached in the KNP since January 2010, with a total
of 1722 countrywide in our country. 85% of the poachers come from little
villages in Mozambique bordering the KNP. Unfortunately the bureaucratic
wheels of our Government are turning very slowly, we hear fancy words about
what is still going to be done, but very few results.
Shocking! Thanks for making this video, people really need to know! If you
want to help, there's a new FB group, 2014 Elephant Hungry Ghosts, to use
superstitions of Chinese buyers/owners of ivory, against them. Every year
they celebrate `Hungry Ghost Festival'. Before it starts, they believe
graves open, ghosts come out, roam the earth. Must appease, otherwise
angry! Spook buyers into being scared to buy/keep their ivory. More info at
Indiegogo, search for 2014 Elephant Hungry Ghosts.
Hi Getty Images, I just watched your video of God's Ivory and would like to
know will there be a version with Chinese subtitle? I am an elephants lover
in HK and now having a Weibo Page under the name of Amboseli Trusts for
Elephants (Facebook in China) to educate the Chinese to stop the demand on
ivory and keep their awareness of elephants issues, so it will be great if
I can post your video. My email is [email protected] Thanks, Dorothy
This is a social class WAR - 99% vs 1% We are witnessing the greatest evil
of Capitalism.. and it is bringing upon the EXTINCTION of every species of
life on Earth! Humans must embrace the Mother Goose philosophy, or else we
shall soon be extinct ourselves! The highest value is NOT scarcity, but
life! The highest value is perpetual regeneration!
Well spoken............The religous part has been and is very disturbing. I
don't know what it will take to wake these people up. Corruption within the
ranks of wildlife protectors is rising at an alarming rate. They make more
money helping with the poaching than they make on their job. Thank you for
this video - will share on my Facebook page.
Let us never give up the fight to protect elephants. Its sad to think that
money can corrupt the world so much. But it is a proof that something needs
to change for the long run. Or else, we don't know how far people are
willing to go for just a couple bucks.
Let us spread the world and hopefully change a generation, before it is too
late.
It is the age old failing of religion that it replaces its followers own
instinctive moral compass with a misguided obsession with devotion that
leads them to heinous, morally blind behavior. WAKE UP! We are too far down
the line of history to still use religion as an excuse for abhorrent evil
behavior!!
this is great reporting, but I wish it would go one step further to explain
how we in the US, Canada, Europe, and other countries around world will be
directly impacted by the possible total economic collapse of African
countries - because we will be.
I've tried to offer my help to NGO's, Animal welfare groups, even African
governments but nobody wants to know. I'm only a writer, but people read
don't they. I guess like so many others, I feel so useless to do anything.
Please share this and like, so we can spread this information about the
fight for these beautiful animals to live on!! We have social media lets
use it it could save some elephants and rhinos.
God gave man the responsibility to take care of the earth and the animals,
it says so in the Bible. Sad to see people making statues of God and
slaughtering these amazing animals for it,.....
very well done- we all have so much work to do to save the elephants. CITES
is not the answer. sure let them continue whatever politics they are
playing but it obviously is not the answer.
They need to arm the villagers with instructions to shoot on site... and
pay them a stipend for inducement.

+pattick busche the sound was essentially an encoded password that lets you onto the internet. Smart people muted it so it didn't run through the speakers.
I remember that dial up sound when I was really young. You could never
sneak onto the computer at night cause that sound would give you away.
Funny :)
A one-way pager is just perfect for those opportunities where you want to
message someone without them replying. Such as swearing at someone, telling
them off, or needing someone dispensable to do a job for you. That way
after they're done you can just stop messaging them and use someone else to
hide the bodies.
I was born in 1998 so I dont remember much of the 90's but I do remember
dail up internet, floppy disks, and also those big tapes instead of cds lol
Also i still ask strangers for directions sometimes is that weird?
+Reyhaneh Rahimi LOOOL, btw assuming from your name youre arab?I'm arab, nice meeting you, and hey id rather stay without internet than having to hear that god forsaken sound again
same, I even still have the big video tapes, like alot of em with old movies and stuff, and that dial up internet, 64kbps, annoying sound, and if your parents Want to use the phone, you gotta disconnect it, floppy disks were retarded IMO, we had a lot of em but never really used anyLOL but the most irritating thing is the dial up sound
If you're on mobile (idk what it's like on computer) then the new update changed the formatting in the subscriptions section. Now all the videos you get in your box are presented bigger. They used to be skinnier.
