The African Elephant Conservation Act

The African Elephant Conservation Act is a U.S. law aimed at protecting African elephants from illegal poaching and trade. It bans the import, export, and sale of elephant parts, such as ivory, to reduce illegal hunting that threatens their populations. The act also supports efforts to conserve elephants and their habitats through funding and international cooperation. Its goal is to ensure sustainable elephant populations by discouraging illegal activities and promoting conservation initiatives across Africa and worldwide.
