Dear All,
For many years we have seen ivory, different animal skins, rhino horns, etc for sale on the streets of the city of Lubumbashi and through our NGO we have decided to act against that illegal trade.
Therefore, since June 2009, along with the local authorities, J.A.C.K. has participated to the confiscation of 28kg of ivory, one elephant foot (to be used as umbrella stand??), 1 serval skin and 2 galago skins.
The most recent seizure was the one of a leopard (picture below) which has been killed in the recent weeks as the skin isn’t completely dry.
These confiscated items are safely kept by J.A.C.K. which has been allowed by the Ministry of Environment to keep and use these latters as didactic material during educational sessions and anti-poaching exhibition.
Remember, the J.A.C.K. NGO can’t work alone and needs your help, awareness and support to continue its actions.
Thank you,
Roxane
Après cette grande chaîne de solidarité pour les petits nouveaux voilà encore une si belle action de « Jack » pour les autres animaux
décimés illégalement : le faire savoir
est primordial pour permettre peut être de « négocier » des marges de
manoeuvre … Merci beaucoup pour le
ballet de ce cher petit Kimo
Il est important que ces saisies soient visibles et ne disparaissent plus dans la « nature »!
Bravo!!!
This is disgusting! Too bad we can’t skin poachers and put them on display. Thank you for educating the public on this and the chimps. Teaching people is the only way to save these animals.
