　　Kenyan Academy Winning Actress Lupita Nyong’O announced a partnership with protection group WildAid to make more and more people aware of the importance of protecting elephants. The 32-year-old Oscar award winner for her role in the movie, 12 Years As A Slave, promised to partner with a growing army of conservationists(自然环境保护主义者) calling for firm measures to save African elephants.

　　“I am proud of my Kenyan heritage(遗产) and part of that heritage is the important wildlife shelter that is in our care. My appeal to responsible citizens of the world is to help wipe out the current elephant poaching crises(偷猎危机) in Africa,” Nyong’O said. Like many famous people in the world, she joined the international WildAid to save wild animals like elephants.

　　Kenya is home to about 34,000 elephants that live in the east African nation’s wide plains. Poaching, climate change and human invasion of elephants’ habitat stand out as the biggest threats to their survival in Kenya. Nyong’O promised to use her famous person status to urge governments, multilateral agencies(多边机构) and industries to set up a total ban on ivory trade. She had earlier spent three days at Amboseli National Park where she met local conservationists making a speech for the global audience. According to Nyong’O, targeted campaigns, community participation and law enforcement are essential to reducing illegal trade in wildlife products. “Poaching destroys national security and the tourism. We need brave people to end this behavior,” Nyong’O said.
