John,

In the legendary Serengeti, almost a quarter of the elephants live in a tiny area protected by a team of just 4 specially-trained rescue dogs and their handlers.

They sniff out poachers and sound the alarm – the dogs have helped put hundreds of poachers out of business already, saving countless elephants being murdered for ivory. But outside the Serengeti, poaching is on the rise and there are thousands more elephants and rhinos that still need protection.

That’s why the team behind this amazing project is asking for your help to train more dogs and double the number of sites where these sniffer dogs are working – and save double the number of elephants and rhinos.

With these gentle giants getting killed each day, every moment counts.

Can you chip in to help?

If just a handful of dogs protect all those elephants in the Serengeti, imagine what 20 or 30 could do in Etosha National Park! 

Poaching everywhere has skyrocketed in the past year, pushing endangered elephants, rhinos, and other animals even closer to the brink. An influx of support from people around the world could help get this anti-poaching gamechanger the recognition it deserves, finally helping solve our poaching crisis. 

It could also help governments justify funding programs just like this in parks all across Africa. And our community can be right there, advocating for it at every turn.

Together we could help spark the beginning of the end of poaching – can you help?

It’s just an accident that our community found the amazing people behind the Working Dogs for Conservation. But once one of our members let us know the program existed, no one could stop thinking about it. This is our chance to be at the beginning of a life-saving revolution. We can’t wait to get started.

Thanks for all that you do,
Danny and the Ekō team
