"Proposals to ban trade in bluefin tuna and polar bears were overwhelmingly rejected yesterday at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites), meeting in Doha, Qatar.
A plan for a 20-year ban on ivory sales, to protect African elephants, is also likely to fail in the coming days — partly because Britain and other members of the EU are refusing to support it. Delegates are instead expected to approve a weak compromise, which would encourage poaching by allowing the sale of ivory being stored by several African nations."

This is very sad, let's stop this greed and take action now:

Japan, France, Italy and Spain are almost entirely responsible for the destruction of the Bluefin Tuna.
Perhaps we need a boycott of goods from Japan, France, Italy and Spain.
