With regret we read the statement of Dr. Maghembe,Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism (March 2016), that Tanzania would not destroy its ivory stockpile. We believe this decision is a grave mistake for our country, and we ask that you reconsider.
Kwa masikitiko makubwa, tumesoma kauli ya Waziri wa Maliasili na Utalii ya mwezi Machi 2016, kuwa Tanzania haitaharibu ghala lake la meno ya Tembo. Tunaamini kuwa hili ni kosa kubwa kwa nchi yetu, na tunaomba ulitazame upya.Sababu kuu tunayoisikia kukataa kuharibu ghala hilo ni kuwa upo uwezekano wa kuuza ili kupata fedha za uhifadhi, lakini mjadala huu unawaweka Tembo wetu hatarini.
