"The Service values collaborative conservation of wildlife all around the world and is committed to improving implementation of international conservation law," FWS Director Martha Williams said. "Our actions today will help support range countries’ efforts to manage and conserve African elephant populations and will further protect African elephants that are imported to the United States."
She added that FWS would continue to work with African nations to ensure the sustainable management of elephant populations.
