their list of Ethical Tour Operators. These elite few have made the commitment to only offer ethical and responsible tours to help save African wildlife from extinction. Safari With Us does not promote tours to parks that offer lion cub petting or walking with the lions as these activities are most likely associated with the canned/trophy hunting industry. A canned hunt is a hunt on animals specifically bred and raised on game ranches and kept in confined areas until they are mature enough to be killed for trophy collections. CACH founder, Chris Mercer, explains further: “There is no conservation value in captive bred lions. No captive bred lion has ever been released back into the wild and conservation authorities have made it clear that none will be. The harsh reality is that they are the product of factory farming. In most cases these lions will be used in a canned hunts. Their lives will end brutally and in terrible pain. If you indulge in cub petting and lion walking, then you make yourself an accomplice to one of the cruelest industries in the world. We urge tourists and volunteers to practice responsible tourism and use their dollars for good and not evil.” Safari With Us is strongly against canned/trophy hunting and not only informs guests about the consequences of lion cub petting and lion walking but also spreads awareness via social media with a loud roar! Andre Retief, Executive Manager of Safari With Us, adds: “We can’t control what our guests do on their own time, but we have found that most safari tourists are extremely concerned about African wildlife conservation and are more than happy to not engage in these activities once they are aware of the situation. Our primary goal is to offer tourists an exhilarating and educational experience of observing our majestic and precious animals in their natural environment. Promoting parks that offer lion cub petting or walking with the lions is tourist manipulation and against all conservation efforts. We support shooting pictures, not animals.“ We Encourage All Tourists to Help Save Our Wildlife By: Booking only with ethical safari tour operators.#nocannedlion#bantrophyhunting#saveafricananimals#blo

#saveafricananimals#nambia#bantrophyhunting#noivorytrade#elephants#rhinos#govenmentThe results of the most comprehensive survey of African elephants ever undertaken – the Great Elephant Census (GEC) announced last month – have a worrying hole: Namibia. Although it was afforded the opportunity to have its elephants counted, free of charge and subject to the highest international standards, it elected not to participate. By CHRISTIAAN BAKKES and MARCIA FARGNOLI. Namibia’s stance at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) conference presently taking place in Johannesburg makes the reasons for not taking part in the census clear: it wants to be able to hunt elephants and sell ivory. Among the 10 countries of the African Coalition backing the closure of domestic ivory markets – a position agreed to by the CITES working group last week – Namibia was notably absent. The country insists it should be granted special permission to trade in ivory because it claims to have a stable, growing population of elephants. Its trade proposal was denied at a recent conference of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature in Hawaii. Namibia had already proposed the legalised ivory trade to CITES for consideration at COP 17 being held in Johannesburg this week In a report to CITES, Namibia claimed its elephant population was 22,711, of which 13,136 live in the northeast of the country. But this is impossible to verify. The fact that Namibia did not participate in the GEC survey begs the question about the data on which it bases its claim. There are also discrepancies in its poaching statistics. If the population is unknown and is subject to increased poaching or is in large part migratory, should trade even be considered at all? Namibia’s inconsistent estimates and statements are worrying. With regard to rhino poaching, for example, Namibia’s Minister of Environment and Tourism, Pohamba Shifeta, said recently that about 162 rhinos were poached between January 2015 and August 2016. He later announced that about 125 rhinos were killed from January to December 2015 while another 35 carcasses were discovered in 2016. In the authorised CITES

#bantrophyhunting#noivorytrade#saveafricananimals#racingextinctionThe UK is putting Elephants at risk of extinction through its broken promises on the ivory trade, according to campaigners. Before the last election, the Conservative party pledged to shut down the UK’s domestic ivory market: at the time 30,000 Elephants a year were being slaughtered for their tusks. But no action has been taken. While bans on the international trade in ivory exist, a failure to observe similar measures at a national level is being exploited by criminal gangs who smuggle ivory into the UK, where it can be passed off as antique. Now, in the run-up to a major conference, more than 1.6 million people have signed a petition on the Avaaz activist website calling for the world’s domestic ivory markets to be closed down for good. “The government’s broken promises to ban ivory sales in Britain are being paid for in the blood of African Elephants,” said Avaaz campaign director Bert Wander. “As one of the world’s most vocal advocates against the illegal wildlife trade, the UK must now practise what it preaches. Otherwise, China and other ivory hotspots will see no reason to put in place the permanent ban on ivory we need to stop Elephants being wiped from the face of the Earth.”
