In wildlife reserves across Africa, small, specially trained teams of rescue dogs sniff out poachers and sound the alarm. Just 10 dogs have helped arrest hundreds of poachers, saving countless elephants being murdered for their ivory.
In the Serengeti, almost a quarter of the elephants now live in the tiny area the dogs protect -- but poaching is on the rise everywhere else and there are thousands more elephants that still need protection.
Last year we helped the team behind this amazing project grow their team of sniffer dogs by 50% -- now they're asking for your help again to expand their program in other parks across the continent and save not only elephants but rhinos, pangolins and more.
With 96 of these gentle giants killed each day, every moment counts.
Can you chip in to help?
Anything extra raised will be used to fund campaigns to stop poaching and other threats to animals and the planet.
