Event Details

On September 24, 2016, people in cities throughout the world will march as one voice to save Elephants and Rhinos. The march in San Francisco will start at Union Square Park 10 am.
Why march?
The countdown to the extinction of elephants and rhinos has begun. Come out for the global march to call for an end to the killing and a ban on ivory and rhino horn before it’s too late. Unless action is taken now, we will lose these majestic, highly intelligent, and emotionally sentient creatures forever.
More than 35,000 elephants are being killed every year so their tusks can be carved into ivory trinkets. A rhino is slaughtered once every 9-11 hours for its horn. Their only hope for survival lies in an immediate end to the ivory and rhino horn trade (both “legal” and “illegal”) and the chance to recover from decades of mass slaughter.
