*[Enwl-eng] In the fight for elephants and giraffes, the global community is falling short

[ENWLine]

We are ALL responsible for the conservation of these animals! Our Current Efforts Are Failing to Protect Elephants, Giraffes, Buffalo and Antelope in Africa; Demand Change!      Sign Now        A new study of 7 conservation areas in Central Africa shows that the international community is failing some of the world's most threatened animals. Because governments around the world are not committing enough funding for these parks, they are often only protected on paper and not in practice, leaving animals like elephants, giraffes, buffalo and antelope vulnerable to harm.   Countries like Chad, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, and the Democratic Republic of Congo set aside huge swaths of land for these animals, but are then left with the responsibility of maintaining and protecting said conservation areas -- an impossibly expensive and labor-intensive task. The fact of the matter is, the international community cannot demand that these countries set such large conservation goals without helping them. They either must provide more funding or allow conservation areas to be strategically split up so they can actually be protected and maintained!   The next Convention on Biological Diversity is planned for April 2022. Sign if you want this international convention to choose to effectively protect these animals in reality and not just in name! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. The international community wants to increase conservation areas in Central Africa, but won't sufficiently fund efforts to actually protect said areas!
