This petition is also backed by a unified coalition of signatories from Kenyan-based Conservation NGOs, wildlife filmmakers and photographers, and safari companies. We are all raising our voices for the protection of these magnificent creatures – please do so too!
Bulls like 34 year old Esau below from Amboseli are in acute danger. See map below showing movements of 8 collared bulls from Amboseli. Three more elephant permits have just been issued for trophy hunting in the West Kili/Natron area. The bull shot in Sept ’23 has now been identified by the Amboseli Trust for Elephants as Gilgil. He was 35 years old and only just entering his reproductive years.
We’ve asked for transparency from Tz, but the hunters burnt the carcasses to hide the evidence. We suspect the other two bulls were also from the Amboseli cross-border population. For now Esau is still alive and has been fitted with a radio collar by an alliance of Kenyan conservation NGOs.
Tanzania must honour the 30-year agreement to protect these iconic and increasingly endangered bulls. See article from a Tanzanian newspaper in 1995 mentioning the moratorium on killing. Please help us share this petition like wildfire. Thank you!
THIS HAS TO STOP!

Just extraordinarily disgusting both to the president and those who seek such a task – this must sop wildlife must be protected especially elephants
Africa is precious, don’t destroy it.
Elephants are precious, leave them free.
Why om Earth would a fellow Human Being want to allow this to happen!!
Please stop! This barbaric act.
This has to stop !!!!
It is a disgrace that Trophy Hunters have been issued permits to kill these magnifecent super tusker elephants that are aged over 40 years old! . Please sign this petition and e mail the Tanzanian Government to try and stop the issue of any new permits. There are so few super Tusker elephants left on the planet. I am so outraged by the killing of these elephants and I know many people around the world feel the same way. The elephants need your help now!
I urge the Tanzanian Government to stop the slaughter now before its too late!
No a la caza de elefantes
That in 2024 people can still hunt for trophies…
If Tanzania allows the killing of elephants, it should be publicized on European television to make people aware of the problem that exists in Africa, and if the Tanzanian government continues to issue permits for the shooting of elephants, tourists from Europe should be discouraged from going to Tanzania or Zanzibar because instead I can go to Kenya where the attitude of people towards elephants is different.
