More elephants are being lost every day, illegally killed by poachers who sell their tusks on the black market. Over the last five years alone, the rate of elephant slaughter has dramatically increased, and we have to do all we can to stop it. Tell your legislators that elephants matter to you and to this world – and that Congress must help protect them.
Wild tigers could soon be slaughtered to extinction by poachers – unless we act now. The U.S. can help save these magnificent creatures, but only if Congress continues its support for international conservation programs. Help us make sure that lawmakers know what's at stake and urge them to take immediate action by sending a letter to your members of Congress.
