Stop Wildlife Crime


Sign Against Wildlife Crime
 Wildlife crime is now the most urgent threat to three of the world’s best-loved species—elephants, rhinos and tigers.Tens of thousands of elephants are poached each year. Between 1995 and 2007, experts estimate that elephant populations in Central Africa declined by more than 50 percent, primarily due to ivory poaching.

Close to 18,000 pounds of illicit rhino horn reaches Asian markets each year, where the street price rivals that of pure gold.There are as few as 3,200 tigers left in the wild and they are hunted relentlessly by poachers.Even more worrying, these species cannot survive high levels of poaching for long.

We can turn the tide.

We need your help to save wildlife and people from becoming victims of wildlife crime. Join our public relations practitioners campaign and help us:

  • Push governments to protect threatened animal populations by increasing law enforcement, imposing strict deterrents, reducing demand for endangered species products and honoring international commitments made under CITES.
  • Speak up on behalf of those on the frontlines being threatened by armed poachers so they are properly equipped, trained and compensated.
  • Reduce demand for illegal wildlife parts and products by encouraging others to ask questions and get the facts before buying any wildlife or plant product.
