Tomorrow, @oaklandzoo is hosting an End the Trade

Tomorrow, @oaklandzoo is hosting an End the Trade Day as part of their ‘Taking Action Against the Illegal Wildlife Trade’ campaign. At the event, the Zoo will accept any wildlife-based items containing tusks, horns, bones, furs, turtle shells, reptilian skins, exotic feathers, and coral from guests. These animal products can appear as jewelry, souvenirs, hair accessories, fashion accessories (purses, belts, clothing), carvings, instruments, and more. Guests will also be able to participate in activities to learn about ways to help combat the illegal wildlife trade. More information on this campaign: oaklandzoo.org/endthetrade
