CHANG Interim Chairperson Before the Senate Committees on ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT and COMMERCE AND CONSUMER PROTECTION Thursday, February 12, 2015 2:45 pm State Capitol, Conference Room 225 In consideration of SENATE BILL 0674 RELATING TO WILDLIFE PROTECTION Senate Bill 0674 proposes to amend the Hawaii Revised Statutes by adding a new Chapter entitled “Unlawful Sale or Trade of Ivory or Rhinoceros Horn”, whereby the trade and sale of ivory and rhinoceros horn within the state is prohibited. The Department of Land and Natural Resources (Department) supports this Bill. African elephants are spiraling toward extinction as illegal poaching and ivory trade continue to decimate their numbers. Similarly, rhinoceros numbers continue to plummet as poaching for their horn increases with over 1,200 animals killed in South Africa alone in 2014. Hawaii is the third highest retailer of elephant ivory in the United State behind California and New York. Tusks are traded internationally and sold world-wide, often after being carved into trinkets and then being identified as some other animal tusk, or claimed as a “pre-act” tusk, meaning that it had been harvested before the 1990 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species treaty which made ivory trade illegal in many countries.

We went through a trying process of re-evaluating, reaffirming and defining our core purpose - and for the first time lost one of our members, CERCOPAN. Yet PASA staged Management and Veterinary Workshops and welcomed a new member, Lilongwe Wildlife Center in Malawi. PASA also made eight Crisis Response grants for a total of more than US$34,000, and raised more than $135,000 in funds directly for sanctuaries. Most importantly, through it all, the sanctuaries continued their essential work of rescuing and caring for Africa’s primates while working with communities and governments to protect their kind in the wild.
