Good News to Celebrate this Holiday Season!

On November 20th , 2023 the Canadian Government passed the ban on domestic trade in elephant ivory and rhino horn, as well as the import of hunting trophies containing these parts. The landmark measures fulfill a 2021 Ministerial mandate and are a critical step in protecting these iconic species. Canada now joins the UK, France, China, the Netherlands, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Belgium, Luxembourg, the EU, and nearly every state in the United States who has closed or has severe restrictions on their ivory markets.

Elephanatics created the Ivory-Free Canada campaign then joined by Humane Society International Canada, Rhino and Elephant Defenders, World Elephant Day and the Jane Goodall Institute of Canada, to form the Ivory Free Canada coalition. Together, we were relentless in our mission to get this ban passed!

Fran Duthie, Elephanatics founder and President says “The team at Elephanatics is thrilled that regulations to ban the elephant ivory and rhino horn trade, along with the import of trophy hunts and their parts, are to be enacted by the Canadian Government. We would like to thank all our supporters, our coalition partners, conservationists, scientists, politicians, volunteers, journalists, and people who worked tirelessly to make this happen. From the petition created by the Ivory Free Canada coalition that reached over 700,000 signatures, showing overwhelming support to save elephants and rhinos, to endless advocacy, to the collaboration of like minds working together to save a species, our mission has come to fruition. It is a time to be grateful and to celebrate this grand achievement. We did it!” Read more here.
