End ivory for good

It's heartbreakingly cruel -- and we can stop it.
A global ivory ban could save hundreds of thousands of elephants, but right now the EU is blocking progress -- just to protect a tiny group of antique ivory dealers!
Here's the thing -- these dealers have a dirty secret. Poachers use fake antiques to launder ivory from recently slaughtered elephants. But without proof, the EU won’t shut them down.
So let's prove it.
Avaaz has lined up a leading university to carbon test "antique" ivory and prove it's not antique at all. But the testing isn't cheap -- only our movement can quickly come together to fund the lab work, then campaign like crazy to make sure the EU acts on the results. It'll take 10,000 of us chipping in the cost of a snack or a meal to get started -- let's end ivory together.
