• Brian Emmerson, who has been supporting EIA’s Elephant Campaign for over 25 years, saved the day by generously printing our latest ivory report Open Season: the Burgeoning Illegal Ivory Trade in Tanzania and Zambia, which proved decisive in securing continuing protection for elephants at the CITES Meeting in March.
Supporter Profile Nicki Ryan is one of EIA’s newest members. She entered our Tiger Trail Competition and recently held a fundraising cake sale. We got in touch and asked why she joined EIA:

“I became a member of EIA because of the inspiring dedication and commitment they give to saving animals from international trade and habitat destruction which threatens their survival. EIA is unique as members of their team are willing to risk their lives in the fight against illegal trade. If you read about the history of the EIA, you begin to truly appreciate how far this organisation has come and how dedicated the whole team is. I know the EIA will put every penny donated to them to good use.”
...and I remember the bang... I remember the pain...
...then I remember... nothing
Lastly, Andy Rouse, the highly acclaimed wildlife photographer, has released his latest book on the wild tiger; “Tigers, a Celebration of Life”. It is a stunning book that highlights the beauty of the creature but also raises awareness of its dwindling numbers. You may recognise a few images; two came highly recommended at the BBC Wildlife Photography Competition and have been on display at the Natural History Museum. Inspirational & educational, Rouse is pledging 25 per cent of each sale to tiger conservation including EIA. See www.andyrouse.co.uk for more info.
Gorgeous isn’t it? Cost a fortune mind. You’ll have to be quick if you want one. There’s not many left.
