"Without U.S. programs to support the conservaiton of endangered wildlife, we don't know what the fate will be for many of our planet's most beloved creatures such as gorillas, rhinos and tigers. These programs are vital for supporting and leveraging important conservation initiatives across the globe."

- Jack Hanna, Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures

How the funds will be used

The funds you donate will go directly to projects that conserve and protect the species that you designate:

• African Elephants

• Asian Rhinoceros
• African Rhinoceros
• Tigers
• Marine Turtles
• Gorillas
• Chimpanzees
• Bonobos

Funds support surveys, monitoring, anti-poaching measures, public awareness campaigns, resolution of human-species conflict, habitat protection, conservation capacity building, and applied research (genetics, behavioral ecology). Most projects have a local or regional scope, and are performed in species range countries by diverse local and international partners.

Partners match grant dollars, compounding the effect of private donations. Talk to your tax advisor about making a contribution to support these programs – it may be deductible. It will definitely contribute to the conservation of these heritage species.
