Dear Mr. Presidents:
For all the children and all the elephants in the world, we ask you from our hearts: Please do all you can to stop the elephant poaching in Africa and the illegal ivory trade in China.
Poachers in Africa are killing elephants because many people in China and other Asian countries are buying ivory. At this rate, they will be extinct before we are out of high school.
Can you imagine a world without elephants?
The population of African forest elephants has already been cut in half since we were born.
When people stop buying ivory, elephants will stop dying.
We are asking all children to sign this letter with us.
Sincerely,
Isabella & Willow Poschman age 7
