John, a world without elephants is unimaginable. But thousands are killed every year, slaughtered for the illegal wildlife trade. Vulnerable wildlife—like elephants and many other species—won't survive without our help. Tomorrow is World Elephant Day, and we're hoping to find 200 people who will create a safer world for wildlife by symbolically adopting an elephant with a monthly gift.

Dear John, The bond between a mother elephant and her calf is one of the closest of any mammal. Calves rely completely on their mothers as they learn to survive in the wild. Tragically, poaching for the illegal elephant ivory trade leaves many young elephants orphaned and facing an uncertain future. A staggering number of elephants are killed each year for their tusks. Poaching threatens the survival of so many species, including tigers and black rhinos. World Elephant Day is the ideal moment to create a safer world for vulnerable wildlife everywhere. Act now to help keep precious wildlife like elephants in our world. When you start your monthly donation, you'll protect threatened species and their habitats from many threats—and you'll help us reach our goal of 200 World Elephant Day donors.
