Photographer Walt Miller on Stopping Poaching

While on safari in Tanzania to photograph these beautiful animals, I was overcome at how sociable that they are. Not just with other animals ,but also with human beings. (That’s my camp in the background on the left ) All the while, there is a air of sadness, just knowing that if it weren’t for places like this, these animals would be wiped out.

The long term answer is in our hands . WE must change the way WE think about the use of Ivory. For as long as it is Acceptable for Ivory to be a Fashion item .

We must Stop the Demand for Ivory Trinkets and the Poachers will stop. The Government of Tanzania has come down HARD on Traffickers but they need our help. Once you look into an Elephants eyes …How can you look away and not stop the killing? Walt Miller
