John,
Back in 2020, the Ekō community helped an elite, specially trained team of rescue dogs sniff out poachers and put hundreds out of business, saving countless elephants being murdered for their ivory.
Now, another icon of the African savannas is being targeted: rhinos in Namibia are being killed in unprecedented numbers for their horns. And the team behind the amazing project are asking for our help to urgently train up another elite unit of 4 dogs and handlers, doubling up on their efforts and saving double as many rhinos – and elephants!
With tens of thousands of hectares to protect and these gentle giants being targeted and killed every day, every moment counts. Can you chip in to help?

With 8 dogs on the ground in Namibia, they are already making an enormous impact, but the rapid increase in poaching has the team stretched thin.
And it’s not just Namibia and the world famous Etosha National Park that’s in trouble – 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.
