The world’s largest land mammal majestically roams the African savanna,
while a relatively unknown little mouse burrows into the Southern
California coast. Although elephants weigh almost 600,000 times as much
as Pacific pocket mice, these two have something huge in common: both
species are crucial to the health of their delicately balanced
ecosystems.
In conservation, there isn’t a “one size fits all” approach to saving
and protecting wildlife. For sustainable success, each species’ unique
needs are taken into consideration, including their native landscapes,
behaviors, and more. Working with partners and local communities, we’re
finding innovative solutions for endangered elephants, Pacific pocket
mice, and wildlife of all shapes and sizes.
Big conservation
successes begin with small moments. Together we can
create colossal change for wildlife, people, and the planet we all
share. With the support of allies like you, we’re making a difference
for wildlife through our eight
Conservation Hubs, from the savanna
to the Southwest
and across the globe. Thank you for being with us every
step of the way.

A RHINO ALLIANCE
Black rhinos living at Loisaba Conservancy in Kenya may never meet white rhinos living at the San
Diego Zoo Safari Park. Yet they’re each helping conserve their species, both of
which are threatened. Groundbreaking new technology allows us to
identify rhinos in the landscapes they live in, helping us understand
their movements and informing conservation solutions—which have
the
potential to help wildlife worldwide, too.

APPLYING OUR KOALA-FICATIONS
Koalas face an uncertain future due to threats including climate change
and disease. After the devastating mega-fires of 2019 and 2020, you
helped us find a path forward to save this marsupial. To guide
conservation efforts for these iconic but endangered tree-dwellers,
we’re also collaborating to create the largest genomic database and
mapping populations. Climb on in to discover the other innovative ways
you’re helping protect koalas for generations to come.

SO SMALL IT’S MICROSCOPIC
DNA is a window into physiology, behavior, and evolution. By sequencing
and analyzing wildlife genomes, we can help ensure species have what
they need to survive and thrive. It all starts with priceless samples
preserved in our Tissue and DNA Bank—one of the six subcollections
of
our Wildlife Biodiversity Bank. This year, we’re honoring the past and
looking ahead to the future as we celebrate 50 years of conservation
science.
