Am 27. März werden sich in Hongkong die Abgeordneten zu einer wichtigen Diskussion treffen zur Entscheidung für oder gegen den Vorschlag ihrer Regierung, den Elfenbeinhandel in Hongkong zu verbieten.
Bitte schreiben Sie die Abgeordneten an, um sie über die Lage zu informieren und sie zu überreden, natürlich FÜR das Verbot zu stimmen, und, wenn irgend möglich, in früher als in den geplanten 5 Jahren.
Unten gibt es einen Musterbrief, den Sie gern verwenden können. Aber sehr gern können Sie ihn natürlich abändern und eigene Formulierungen finden. Je mehr Briefe die Abgeordneten bekommen, umso besser für die Elefanten! Wem es zu viel ist, alle Abgeordneten anzuschreiben, bitte wenigstens an die ersten zwei oder drei Mail-Adressen schreiben!
Danke an alle schon im Voraus!!
MUSTERBRIEF
Support Government’s Proposal for HK Ivory Trade Ban
Dear Chair of the Panel on Environmental Affairs
Dear Legislative Council Members
Today I am writing to you to urge you to strongly support your government’s proposal to not only ban the ivory trade as soon as possible, but also to increase the penalties for illegal wildlife trade as much as possible.
As elephants in Africa are poached for their ivory at a catastrophic rate and only around 350,000 elephants are left in the wild, banning all trade in ivory in every place and country of the world is absolutely necessary. As Hong Kong and mainland China are having the biggest local ivory markets in the world, it is of utmost importance to close these markets quickly.
Mainland China has already announced to close their ivory market until the end of this year. Therefore it is most important that Hong Kong will follow suit, as not supporting a Hong Kong ivory ban would undermine the efforts of the mainland to tackle the illegal ivory trade. Hong Kong already showed that it cares for the survival of elephants by destroying their stockpiles of seized ivory recently. This was a great step. But more measures are needed. Shutting down the local ivory trade is necessary. As elephant numbers are plunging with breathtaking speed, a five-years-plan as proposed by Hong Kong, would risk the lives of further hundreds of thousands of elephants. Therefore I urge you to not only vote for the local ivory ban but to strongly press for a much quicker timeline to close the HK market within one year.
Thanking you in advance!
Yours sincerely,
Ihr Name
Germany
