Letter To Pope Francis


His Holiness, Pope Francis,
00120 Vatican City State


Most Holy Father:

Congratulations on your recent installation as our new Pope!

My name is Ella Warburg, I am 13 years old and I am concerned about the dramatic increase in the demand for ivory tusks in Africa and Asia for religious objects. 

Those from many religions around the world have been coming together to try to stop elephant poaching, but lately there have been many news reports about a further escalation in violence against our largest land mammal.  Your Holiness’ leadership would be immensely influential at this time to reduce and eventually end elephant poaching and decrease the acceptance of ivory in religious icons.  

Catholics and non-Catholics, Christians and non-Christians all around the world would follow your Holiness’ example to stop these terrible crimes and sins against God’s creatures.

Thank you for your leadership, Pope Francis. 

Grazie! ¡Y gracias!
Congratulazioni! ¡Y felicitaciones!


Ella Warburg
