On 4th October over eighty cities across the world held marches and rallies demanding an end to the slaughter of elephants and rhinos for ivory and horn. It is estimated that, if the killing continues at the current rate, both species may be extinct within ten years.

In the UK many conservation groups joined together to build the event, coordinated by Action for Elephants UK and there were marches in London, Birmingham, Bristol, Edinburgh and Liverpool.  QCA participated in the march in Liverpool.
