昨天(12月11日) 在一場名為「保存文物、保育動物」的記者會上，美國在台協會處長馬啓思與台灣六大博物館館長及代表，正式宣示啟動反野生動物販運的宣導行動。本行動印製並散發標題為「博物館典藏象牙 但你不應該」的宣導海報，目前已經張貼於全台灣的夥伴博物館內。
昨天的記者會上，美國在台協會處長馬啓思及故宮博物院馮明珠院長同聲強調生態保育的重要性，指出購買如犀牛角及象牙的行為已經直接危及這些物種的存亡而必須立刻杜絕，希望透過博物館每年高達數百萬的參觀人次，將這個訊息傳達給社會大眾。馬處長致詞稿及宣導影片已於本會網站上公布。影片請見: http://youtu.be/SCKb6yojopQ

The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) is honored to partner with six leading Taiwan museums to promote an anti-wildlife trafficking campaign titled “Culture and Conservation.” project.
On December 11 at the American Center AIT Direct Marut joined Directors and representatives of six of Taiwan’s leading museums to launch the “Culture and Conservation” anti-wildlife trafficking campaign. The “Culture and Conservation” poster is on display in museum galleries around Taiwan delivering the message that “Ivory Collections Only Belong in Museums.”
In remarks at yesterday’s event, AIT Director Marut and National Palace Museum Director Fung Ming-chu emphasized the importance of wildlife conservation and explained how Taiwan museums’ popularity will allow the program potentially to reach millions of visitors with the message that purchasing ivory or rhino horn products imperils the existence of these species and must stop.
Other participants in the event included Director Chang Yu-tang of the National Museum of History, Director Sun Wei-hsin of the National Museum of Natural Science, Director Chang Shan-nan of the National Museum of Prehistory, Director Chen Chih-ming of the National Taiwan Museum and Professor Fang Tonyun of the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium. The speech by AIT Director Marut and an updated video featuring the “Culture and Conservation” program are posted on the AIT website: http://youtu.be/SCKb6yojopQ
