--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Elephants, whales, tigers and turtles will continue to enjoy international protection. After often impassioned debate at the meeting on trade in endangered species in Kenya, delegates from 151 nations agreed to retain the ban on international trade in elephant ivory, to deny a Cuban request to sell hawksbill turtle shells and to keep the meat of minke and gray whales off international shelves. These animals were added to the U.N. Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species. - from USA Today ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.artecology.org Imagination & Conscience Since 1989 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
