Georgia has the opportunity to protect animals by passing a bill spearheaded by Hannah4Change along with Senator Nan Orrock (D) that will restrict the sale of products and parts of elephants, rhinos, sharks, sea turtles and other imperiled species and ensure that Georgians do not unwittingly contribute to the illegal wildlife trade. While many of these species reside in countries or oceans thousands of miles away, Georgia can still ensure that it is not supporting the poaching and trafficking that threaten these at-risk species. The U.S. is a major contributor to the $20 billion illegal wildlife trade worldwide that pushes many iconic animals to the brink of extinction while increasing global instability. To get involved, contact your local representative in Georgia to show your support for this draft bill.
