JANE GOODALL (V.O.): If someone tells you that it’s fine to kill sharks; there are plenty in the ocean – don’t buy it.
And if they say there are enough chimpanzees and tigers in the forest; so don’t worry about their slaughter – definitely don’t buy it.
Our endangered animals are being wiped off the earth by illegal wildlife trade, and it’s up to us to stop it.
Never buy illegal wildlife products and we can save our endangered animals.
When the buying stops the killing can, too

JANE GOODALL (V.O.): I’ve spent my life living with nature, and I’ve learned that on this earth, we are all one family.
Animals are our relatives; we are so privileged to share our planet with them.
And now we must fight for their survival and stop their slaughter at the hands of the illegal wildlife trade.
When you travel overseas please never buy products made from illegally hunted wildlife. Together we can save our endangered animals.
When the buying stops the killing can, too.
