Letter to the President

June 28, 2013

Dear President Obama,

Hello, my name is Ella Warburg. I am an ingoing 8^th grade student at Valley Christian in Dublin, California, just outside of San Francisco.  I know you are very busy, and I would like to thank you for all that you’ve done for our country in the past five years.  I am writing to you regarding the terrible elephant poaching problems that are occurring worldwide.   

On Thursday, November 8^th, 2012, Former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton made her address at the State Department, concerning Wildlife Trafficking and Conservation.  The day before this speech, I started a blog on this subject called “E is for Elephants” (eis4elephants.blogspot.com).

As I am only 13 years old, this is my first time blogging.  However, after reading the sickening news reports and magazine articles, I knew I had to act. 

I would love to assist you in bringing awareness to this crisis and help combat the illegal trade of wildlife (and the unfortunate crime that follows) while promoting conservation.  How can I be of help?

Thank you so much,

Ella Caledonia Warburg

Go make a difference!
