6 | The local anti-Ivory action was launched with a petition by Lucy Lan Skrine aged 11 and Christina Seigrist aged 8 at Avaaz.org in mid September calling for the destruction of confiscated ivory in order to send a strong signal to Chinese consumers that buying ivory is immoral and wrong. | Natomboka tamin'ny fanangonan-tsonia nataon'i Lucy Lan Skrine 11 taona sy i Christina Seigrist 8 taona, tao amin'ny Avaaz.org io hetsika hiadiana amin'ny fivarotana Haranify ao an-toerana io tamin'ny tapaky ny volana Septambra, hangatahana ny famotehana ny haranify voageja mba handefasana famantarana mahery ho an'ireo Sinoa mpanjifa fa tsy mety sady mifanipaka amin'ny foto-pisaina tokony ho izy ny fividianana haranify. |
7 | The two school kids are studying in Hong Kong, a major port in the illegal global trade of ivory on route from Africa to mainland China. | Mianatra any Hong Kong ireo ankizy mpianatra roa ireo, seranana lehibe fanaovana varotra amin'ny fomba tsy ara-dalàna eran-tany ny haranify avy any Afrika mankany amin'ny tanibe Shina. |
8 | In an interview [zh] with inmediahk.net, they said that they love animals and wanted to stop the massive killing of elephants by helping to give them a voice. | Tanatina tafatafa [zh] niarahan'izy ireo tamin'ny inmediahk.net, nilaza izy ireo fa tia biby ary te-hampitsahatra ny famonoana betsaka ireo elefanta marobe amin'ny alalan'ny fanampiana azy ireo handrenesana ny feony. |

11 | Despite the active crackdown of ivory smugglers by the Hong Kong Customs and Excise Department in the implementation of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), it has been difficult for the authorities to identify and prosecute the smugglers. | Na eo aza ny famoretana mavitrika ataon'ny Departemantan'ny Fomban-drazana sy ny Hetra ao Hong Kong atao an'ireo mpanodinkodina ny haranify amin'ny alalan'ny fametrahana ny Fifanarahana momba ny Varotra Iraisam-pirenena Ireo Karazam-biby sy zava-maniry Anaty ala ahiana ho lany tamingana(CITES), sarotra ho an'ireo manampahefana ny hamantatra sy hanasazy ireo mpanodinkodina. |
12 | Furthermore, domestic trade of ivory accessories is allowed both in Hong Kong and in mainland China. | Ankoatra izay, malalaka ny fivarotana ireo haingo vita avy amin'ny haranify any Hong Kong sy any amin'ny tanibe Sina. |
13 | When the illegal raw ivory is successfully smuggled to mainland China via Hong Kong, it is wholesaled to carvers and manufacturers, turned into luxurious products and circulated in the domestic market through both licensed businesses and underground black market. | Rehefa nampidirina antsokosoko soa aman-tsara ao amin'ny tanibe Shina ny haranify mandalo an'i Hong Kong, dia amidy any amin'ireo mpanao sary sokitra sy mpanodina akora voajanahary izany, ary ahodina ho vokatra lafo vidy ary aely any amin'ny varotra ao an-toerana, na amin'ny alalan'ireo varotra nahazoan-dàlana, na avy amin'ny varo-maizina. |
14 | That's why international anti-ivory trade campaigns, such as Save All Elephants, are calling for a a stop to ivory carving industry in China: | Izany no mahatonga ireo hetsi-panentanana iraisam-pirenena miady amin'ny fivarotana haranify, tahaka ny Save All Elephants, miantso ny hanatsaharana ny indostria mpanao sary sokitra vita avy amin'ny haranify any Shina: |
15 | China is the driving factor in the ivory trade, yet claims they are not responsible for poaching. | Shina no singa lehibe indrindra eo amin'ny fivarotana ny haranify, nefa milaza izy ireo fa tsy tompon'andraikitra amin'ny fihazana tsy ara-dalàna. |
16 | It is their carving in their massive factories which produce all the items for people to buy. | Ny fanaovan'izy ireo sary sokitra anatin'ireo orinasa be dia be ireo no mamokatra ireo zavatra vidian'ny olona. |
17 | Carving is the Bottle Neck of the trade. | Ny fanaovana sary sokitra no mbola mampandeha ny varotra. |
18 | China is at fault, the ivory is in their literal laps to be carved. | An'i Shina ny hadisoana, anatin'ireo akora ara-dalàna fanaovana sary sokitra ny haranify ao aminy. |
19 | They must be called out on it, and you, the activist, is the one to do it, the one to ask your government to demand that China stop so that elephants have their right to life. | Tsy maintsy hampanantsoina izy ireo amin'izany, ary ianao, mafana fo, no tokony hanao izany, ianao no tokony hangataka ny governemantanao hitaky ny hanatsaharan'i Shina izany mba hahafahan'ireo elefanta ireo zo hiaina. |
20 | This is also a long term goal for Hong Kong for Elephants. | Tanjona maharitra ihany koa izany ho an'ny Hong Kong for Elephants izy ity. |
21 | On October 4, around 30 animal activists rallied along the Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, a most touristic area in Hong Kong. | Ny 4 Oktobra, manodidina ny 30 ireo mafana fo momba ny biby nirotsaka an-dàlambe tany amin'ny Araben'i Nathan tany Tsim Sha Tsui, faritra saika natokana ho an'ny fizahantany ao Hong Kong. |
22 | When they passed by the Chinese Arts & Crafts, a famous department store for luxurious Chinese crafts including ivory, they urged Chinese consumers to stop buying ivory products. | Rehefa nandalo ny Haikanto & Taozavatra Sinoa izy ireo, departemanta malaza fitahirizana misy ireo taozavatra Sinoa lafo vidy izay mitahiry ireo haingo vita avy amin'ny haranify, nangataka ireo mpanjifa Sinoa tsy hividy vokatra avy amin'ny haranify intsony izy ireo. |
23 | Apart from raising public awareness, the coalition will submit the signatures collected from the online petition to the Hong Kong government and hasarranged a meeting with the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department to discuss their petition to destroy the stockpiles of confiscated ivory. | Ankoatra ny fampahatsiarovan-tena ny vahoaka, dia hamoaka ireo sonia voaangona nandritra ilay fanangonan-tsonia natao tao anaty aterineto halefa any amin'ny governemantan'i Hong Kong io vondrona io ary nikarakara fihaonana miaraka amin'ny Departemantan'ny Fambolena, ny Jono ary ny Fitehirizana mba hiresahan'izy ireo momba ny fanangonan-tsoniany ho famotehana ny haranify voageza rehetra. |
24 | As the coalition explained, destroying the stockpiles is only a start, their mission is to ban the domestic ivory trade: | Araka ny nazavain'io vondrona io, fanombohana fotsiny ihany ny famotehana ireo haranify voaangona ireo, ny andraikitr'izy ireo dia ny handrara ny fivarotana haranify ao an-toerana: |
25 | Christine wants consumers aware that buying of ivory products is equal to killing of elephants. | Te-hampahatsiaro saina an'ireo mpanjifa i Christine hoe ny fividianana ireo vokatra azo avy amin'ny haranify dia sahala amin'ny mamono ireo elefanta. |

27 | We also want the Chinese government to ban its domestic ivory trade, to shut down the shops selling ivory products and to close down the 37 state-owned ivory carving factories across the country. | Angatahanay ihany koa ny governemanta Sinoa handrara ny fivarotana haranify ao an-toerana, hanakatona ireo trano fivarotana vokatra avy amin'ny haranify ary hanakatona ireo orinasam-panjakana 37 mpanao sary sokitra vita avy amin'ny haranify manerana ny firenena. |
28 | But first we want you to sign our petition asking the Hong Kong government to crush and burn the stockpile of ivory. | Nefa voalohany indrindra dia mangataka anao hanao sonia ny fanangonan-tsonia ataonay ho fangatahana ny governemanta ao Hong Kong hamotika sy handoro ny tahirina haranify izahay. |
29 | We want Hong Kong to send a message to the world that ivory isn't welcome here and we won't allow our city to be any part of this cruel trade. | Mangataka an'i Hong Kong handefa hafatra ho an'izao tontolo izao izahay fa tsy mandray ny haranify ny aty ary tsy hamela ny tanànanay ho anatin'izany varotra mahatsiravina izany intsony izahay. |
30 | Think about the elephants that died to create that 25 tonne pile of tusks. | Hevero ireo elefanta izay maty mba hahazoana ireo haranify 25 taonina ireo. |
31 | We must do all we can to make sure they didn't die for nothing… | Tsy maintsy manao izay vitantsika isika mba hahazoantsika antoka fa tsy ho fatifaty foana izy ireo… |
