A Tooth for a Tooth

Sadly, for hundreds of years elephants have been hunted and killed

just for their tusks.

Tusks are made of ivory and ivory has been used to make piano keys, dominoes, jewelry, and art.

save elephants

with a little help

from the

Tooth Fairy

Did you know

that tusks on an elephant

are just really long teeth?

And did you know

that one tusk can weigh

over 100 pounds?

Can you imagine having

two very long

and very heavy teeth

sticking out

in front of your face?

Today, many of these products are now made from plastics instead of ivory.

But each year thousands of elephants are still killed so their tusks can be carved into pieces of jewelry, trinkets, and art.

So many elephants have been killed for their ivory teeth that the number of elephants living today is half of what it was 100 years ago.

But it doesn't have to be this way. And would you believe me if I told you that you can help?

Yes, You!

There are many people working to protect elephants and you can be one of them.

Here's How...

Have you ever lost a tooth?

Did you pull it out

or did it fall out by itself?

Did you put your tooth under your pillow at night when you went to bed?

And while you were asleep, did the Tooth Fairy visit and leave you money?

Do you think

you would be willing

to share a little of the money that the Tooth Fairy gave you

for losing your tooth

to help an Elephant save its tooth and its life?

It is easy to do.
