The seizure of 1.5 tonnes of elephant tusks in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on Tuesday, was the single biggest ever ivory haul in the island state, fuelling concerns over the increasing boldness of illegal ivory traders in developing new routes for their contraband.
(London – 08 May 2012) – The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has welcomed the news that Iceland has called an end to the cruel practice of harpooning endangered fin whales.
IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) has a team of observers who will document the 2012 commercial seal hunt in Canada. The Total Allowable Catch (TAC) has been set by Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans at 400,000 harp seals. It is expected that a significant portion of the TAC will be taken this year, since the provincial Newfoundland government has loaned private Norwegian seal processor, Carino, £2.25 million in bailout money to purchase seal skins from hunters and put them into stockpile.
At least 50% of the elephant population of Cameroon’s Bouba Ndjida National Park is dead - killed in a bloody poaching spree by horseback bandits.
(London, 21 March 2012): The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) says that by setting a Total Allowable Catch (TAC) of 400,000 harp seals for the 2012 seal hunt, Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) not only ignores the lack of market for seal products, but demonstrates a continued unwillingness to protect marine resources and live up to Canada’s international obligations for fisheries management.
