Illegal Ivory Trade
EDM number 281 in 2003-04, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 15/12/2003.
That this House notes with alarm the growth in the illegal ivory trade in West Africa; recognises that Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Senegal are the worst perpetrators, where a report by Traffic and the WWF found more than 4,000 kilogrammes of illegal ivory on public display in nine cities in the three countries; further notes that laws exist in all three countries to prevent illegal trade but are not being imposed; and calls on the UK Government to work with international partners and wildlife groups to ensure that all countries apply UN rules on ivory trade.
This motion has been signed by a total of 104 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
