Ivory Trade Ban (EDM543)

Ivory Trade Ban

EDM number 543 in 1991-92, proposed by Tony Banks on 22/01/1992.

That this House is gravely concerned by the decline of Africa's elephant population from 1.3 million in 1979 to 600,000 in 1989; recognises the continuing danger faced by elephants due to the ravages of poaching; accepts that previous attempts to establish a controlled, limited 'legitimate' ivory trade have failed; applauds the considerable efforts of many African nations to establish creditable protection measures for their wildlife resources, particularly elephants; fears that any relaxation whatsoever in their current CITES Appendix I listing for African elephant products will put the safety of the remaining herds in jeopardy; calls upon her Majesty's Government to confirm its support for an unamended continuance of the present trade ban as well as CITES Appendix I status for all African elephants; and urges Her Majesty's Government to use their influence both within the EC and the wider international community to encourage support for a continued ban.

This motion has been signed by a total of 215 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
