Hello, dear uncle.

Your niece wants to say something to you.

I remember last month, when I visited your home, I saw an exquisite elephant carved from ivory on your desk, so I took it in my hand and studied it carefully. You see, I attach great importance to this elephant handicraft, so I talked about the origin of this elephant with great interest. You said that this elephant was bought in Thailand, and the carved ivory is the best and expensive. Only an elephant the size of a fist is worth more than 500 yuan ... You are spitting and talking, but you didn't notice a trace of sadness in my eyes.

Yes, this little elephant is very beautiful and lifelike. It's all in exquisite carving technology, and it's dirty at this time. Behind this exquisite appearance, there is a lifeless and vivid life hidden. Looking at this little elephant, it seems that such a scene emerges in front of me: "A group of elephants are running in despair,' Bang!'" A gunshot, mixed with a few wanton laughter, caused an elephant's huge body to collapse. Others, like desperate wails, fled to deeper grasslands. The initiator of this tragedy, with a triumphant smile, sawed off the ivory and walked away. Leaving only a mutilated elephant corpse, tell people what happened to it ... "

Elephants are the largest terrestrial mammals in the world, which are divided into Asian elephants and African elephants. During the Ice Age, a huge animal, the mammoth, once ruled the northern hemisphere for millions of years, but when it lived to 1 10,000 years ago, the mammoth suddenly became extinct. The main reason is the hunting of human beings and wild animals, which eventually became extinct. There are more than 35,000 wild elephants in the world, only 300 in China, even less than the number of giant pandas, the national treasure. The biggest feature of an elephant is a pair of precious ivory. Since the colonial period, Asian elephants and African elephants have been slaughtered due to the increase of wealth and the love of jewelry and art. People use the sawn ivory to make all kinds of exquisite handicrafts and sell them everywhere. Behind every handicraft is fresh life!

I had a dream last night that a group of people were chasing a group of mammoths. When the last adult male mammoth fell, the desperate mother elephant held her baby elephant "plop!" " She knelt down in tears, her beautiful eyes filled with tears. She almost begged people to say, "Please, please don't kill my child, he is the last mammoth in the world, please …" When the sharp arrow penetrated her body, there was still a trace of regret and love in her eyes ... At this time, I suddenly woke up and couldn't help feeling very much. Perhaps, mammoths are like this. Don't let dreams come true, don't let reality become irreversible! If there were no elephants in the world, human eyes would be confused.

So, uncle, after listening to your niece, will you buy those ivory products again? Although we can't do anything yet, we can start from the most basic place and refuse ivory products! If we buy one less ivory product, we will save one more life. If we buy one less ivory product, it is equivalent to rejecting a dirty business; If we buy one less ivory product, we will contribute to saving elephants!

Protecting elephants is everyone's responsibility. I believe that elephants will become our good friends and let our human children grow up with elephants!

I wish you good health and all the best. Your niece He Xiangyi.
