Saba Douglas-Hamilton Instagram – URGENT CALL TO ACTION: PETITION TO THE PRESIDENT OF TANZANIA
For those horrified by the recent trophy hunting in Tanzania of Amboseli cross-border bulls, please help! Your signature holds immense power.
Please sign and share a crucial petition – see link in bio or search for Stop Trophy Hunting in N Tanzania to Save Amboseli’s Migratory Elephants on Avaaz.org – put together by @WildlifeDirect, @ElephantVoices, @amboseli_trust and @savetheelephants
This petition is also backed by a unified coalition of signatories from Kenyan-based Conservation NGOs, wildlife filmmakers and photographers, and safari companies. We are all raising our voices for the protection of these magnificent creatures – please do so too!
Bulls like 34 year old Esau (photo with Kilimanjaro in the distance) are in acute danger. See map showing movements of 8 collared bulls from Amboseli deep into Tanzania. Three more elephant permits have just been issued for trophy hunting in the West Kili/Natron area. The bull shot in Sept ’23 has now been identified by the Amboseli Trust for Elephants as Gilgil. He was 35 years old and only just entering his reproductive years. We’ve asked for transparency from Tz, but the hunters burnt the carcasses to hide the evidence. We suspect the other two bulls were also from the Amboseli cross-border population. For now Esau is still alive and has been fitted with a radio collar by an alliance of Kenyan conservation NGOs. Tanzania must honour the 30-year agreement to protect these iconic and increasingly endangered bulls. See article from a Tanzanian newspaper in 1995 mentioning the moratorium on killing. Please sign & share. Thank you! THIS HAS TO STOP!
