A surge of illegal trading of elephants in Nepal is happening right now. With Covid-19 restrictions, tourism has taken a dramatic slump, and the economic crisis has diminished the demand for elephants to be exploited for elephant rides to visitors from around the globe.

Now, to relieve the financial burden of upholding the care of these gentle giants, a white-hot market for trafficking elephants across international lines into India has formed putting them at risk for unspeakable abuse and exploitation.

The Nepal Government signed an agreement to protect and preserve the Asiatic Elephant, and they need to step up NOW and provide better protection, as it is the elephants who are paying the ultimate price.

SIGN: Demand that the Nepal Government protect elephants in their country and crackdown on the illegal elephant trade.
