The Brazzaville Foundation welcomes the Republic of Congo's decision to sign the Elephant Protection Initiative on 30 December 2015. It thus becomes the 11th country on the African continent to join this inter-governmental initiative aimed at safeguarding African elephants by putting an end to trafficking ivory. It is spearheaded by the independent NGO Stop Ivory, with the support of the Brazzaville Foundation.
