Share this story:

NhRP President Steven M. Wise is a signatory to an open letter calling on the British Government to better protect and promote the survival of wild elephants and take action against the illegal ivory trade. “It is time for the Government to take a global leadership position once more,” the letter states, “and help secure a long-term future for wild elephants and their natural habitats, while at the same time supporting local communities who live alongside these extraordinary and irreplaceable creatures.” Please read and share!

Lauren is the NhRP’s Communications Director. She heads up internal and external communications, coordinating media coverage of our legal and policy work and managing our blog and social media pages.
