Help Protect the Endangered Tibetan Antelope:
1) Don’t buy any shahtoosh products anywhere they are sold, including North America, the Mideast, Europe and Asia — they are illegal to bring into the U.S., wherever they’re purchased.
2) Ask retailers about products made from the finest cashmere (aka “pashmina”), yak wool and other fine fibers. By purchasing these products, consumers can contribute to the protection of the Tibetan antelope as well as assist with supporting the livelihoods of traditional communities in the Tibetan Plateau region.
3) Relinquish any shahtoosh products in your possession to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as soon as possible (even samples are forbidden). Importation of shahtoosh products into the U.S. is illegal under international and domestic law, regardless of how they were acquired.
