The Global March for Elephants and Rhinos (GMFER) is a worldwide call to action to condemn the poaching of elephants, rhinos and the trafficking of wildlife trophies.
The 2018 Global March for Elephants and Rhinos was postponed to precede this year’s Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).

They chanted and marched displaying placards with different messages from ‘No Market No Trade’, End Trade End Poaching, Stop poisoning wildlife, End the slaughter to show their solidarity in protecting wildlife.
