What the petition asks
Elephants’ biggest threat is the trade in their ivory tusks. The UK has become the world’s leading exporter in ivory in recent years. The newly proposed ban contains exceptions, including musical Instruments and items of "cultural importance". The ban should be TOTAL, with no exceptions.
