96 Elephants

Ninety-six elephants: Protect Wildlife.
Protect Us.

Together, we’ve made great progress for elephants. The world is facing urgent challenges, though, including the risk of another zoonotic pandemic.
Join us to project a better future.

Together we’ve accomplished

Two Important Bans

The U.S. government banned the sale of ivory in 2016. Months later, China promised to do the same.

The END Wildlife Trafficking Act

In 2016, we helped get this key legislation passed. It’s the most significant U.S. anti-wildlife trafficking legislation ever and it sends a powerful message to world leaders.

Millions of Actions

All told, we’ve taken nearly two million actions. Everything from petitions to calls to legislators to yoga and even origami, all for elephants.

Protect Elephants

To save them we must: Stop the killing. Stop the trafficking. Stop the demand. Help us by investing in their future.

Protect These Elephants

Stop the Killing

Despite public outcry, poaching operations continue to grow in scale and sophistication, terrorizing and threatening not just wildlife but people too.

Stop the Trafficking

The ivory trade generates millions of dollars, which goes in part to support criminal syndicates that have been linked to extremist groups.

Stop the Demand

The majority of illegal ivory ends up as pointless trinkets and carvings, which are sold in markets around the world.
