Wildlife Protection
Listening and speaking
The phrase "When the buying stops, the killing can do" emphasizes the importance of addressing the demand for products derived from wildlife, such as ivory, rhino horn, and exotic pets. By reducing or eliminating the demand for these products, we can help curb illegal wildlife trade and the associated poaching of endangered species.
Some slogans focused on wildlife protection:
"Protect Wildlife, Preserve Our Future"
"Save Wildlife, Save Ourselves"
"Keep Wildlife Wild: Protect, Respect, Preserve"
"Every Species Matters: Protect Wildlife"

Symbolism of Ivory Tusks: The presence of an elephant with ivory tusks may symbolize the ongoing threat of poaching and illegal wildlife trade. Elephants are often targeted by poachers for their tusks, which are made of ivory and are highly valued on the black market. This could highlight the importance of protecting endangered species from exploitation.
Diversity of Wildlife: The inclusion of both an elephant and antelopes in the picture suggests the diversity of wildlife that needs protection. It showcases different species, each facing its own set of challenges and threats. This emphasizes the need for comprehensive conservation efforts to safeguard various forms of wildlife.
Call to Action: The phrase "wildlife protection" accompanying the image serves as a call to action, urging viewers to consider the importance of protecting wildlife and take steps to support conservation efforts. It prompts reflection on the threats facing wildlife and the collective responsibility to ensure their survival for future generations.
What we can derive from the visual.
Awareness of Conservation Issues: The image may serve as a tool for raising awareness about conservation issues related to wildlife protection. By visually representing iconic species like elephants and antelopes alongside the phrase "wildlife protection," it aims to educate viewers about the importance of preserving biodiversity and combating threats such as poaching and habitat loss.
Connection to Environmental Stewardship: The image can also evoke themes of environmental stewardship and humanity's role in protecting the natural world. It highlights the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the need for sustainable practices to ensure the well-being of wildlife and the planet as a whole.
What we can derive from the visual.
Someone has to speak up for endangered animals. Some famous people, such as Chinese superstar Yao Ming and Britain’s Prince William, work hard to help. In October 2015, Prince William gave a moving speech on CCTV: "In the 33 years since I was born, we’ve lost around 70 percent of Africa’s elephant population. Of those that are left, 20,000 are killed every year. That is 54 elephants killed every single day. " That means there are elephants which are being killed right now!

In his speech, Prince William also praised China’s efforts to protect wildlife: "I am absolutely convinced that China can become a global leader in the protection of wildlife. "You don’t have to be Prince William or Yao Ming to speak up and do something about endangered animals. You can be the voice of wildlife protection in your area. Remember: Change begins with you.
