NOTES FROM THE FIELD | 2022 | No. 9

POWERFUL, ELUSIVE, AND VANISHING
A tiger's stripes are instantly recognizable-that is, until you're in the lush rainforests of Southeast Asia
[link removed]
. Their iconic patterns are are great camouflage, allowing tigers
[link removed]
to blend into dark jungle and wooded forest habitats. Combine their
concealing coats with a stealthy prowl, and these revered predators
practically disappear.
However, as suitable tiger habitat and food sources diminish, it's
becoming more difficult for these big cats to go unnoticed. When food
is scarce, tigers may prey on livestock and can be perceived as a
threat by local communities-making human-wildlife coexistence an
increasing challenge. This, along with illegal trafficking of live
tigers, as well as poaching for their coats and other body parts, is
putting Sumatran tigers at risk. Today, only 400 are estimated to be
left in their native habitats.
With you by our side, we're committed to saving these critically
endangered big cats. As part of our Asian Rainforest Conservation Hub
[link removed]
, we're partnering with local organizations and leaders to better
understand these elusive predators, foster sustainable coexistence,
and provide key education resources to local communities. Together,
we're securing a more hopeful future for Sumatran tigers, people, and
the planet we share-in our commitment to a world where all life
thrives.

FLOCK TOGETHER
Hornbills are no strangers to community. During the day, these birds
forage in pairs, small groups, and even large flocks. At night, they
find safety in numbers, roosting together in the canopies of the Asian
rainforests
[link removed]
. Extending far beyond the treetops, we're honored to be a part of the
global community working to save endangered hornbills. Through your
support, we partner with local conservation organizations in Southeast
Asia to protect hornbills while increasing populations across their
native range.

THIRD LITTLE MIRACLE
We're honored to welcome a new southern white rhino calf to the crash!
Livia gave birth to a healthy boy last month, named Neville. Neville
is the third southern white rhino calf born at the San Diego Zoo
Safari Park's Nikita Kahn Rhino Rescue Center. He's a crucial addition
to the global population of this threatened species, and an important
step forward in our efforts to save his cousin, the critically
endangered northern white rhino, of which two remain on Earth. Our
hope is that one day-through our cutting-edge conservation
science and expertise in rhino care-southern white rhinos at the
Rhino Rescue Center, including Livia, may be surrogate mothers to
northern white rhinos.
Today, on World Rhino Day, we celebrate you and the cutting-edge care
and conservation science you make possible for rhinos around the
world.
