Save the World's Remaining Elephants
Before the ivory trade was banned, many elephant populations were hunted to the brink of extinction. Now ivory dealers are plotting to reopen the trade, signaling peril for the endangered Asian and African elephants. Unless we take immediate action to save elephants, the killings will increase. Help stop the return of the ivory trade and preserve critical elephant habitat before it's too late.
Human-Elephant Conflict
Recognizing the heightened scale of conflict between elephants and people throughout the world, IFAW works globally to preempt or address such discord with both practical and humane solutions.
Eliminating the Ivory Trade
By opening the door to "limited" sales of elephant tusks, lawmakers have fuelled the demand for illegal poaching. Seizures of black-market ivory continue, while Customs reports that an estimated 90 per cent of contraband gets through undetected. Learn what you can do to save the last surviving elephant herds.
Protecting Elephants from Poachers
IFAW works closely with African and Asian governments to provide vital advice, equipment and training for the fight 'on-the-ground' against organized poaching.
Securing Elephant Habitats
From Africa to China, we're working with local goverments and communities to promote trans-boundary conservation, rebuild parks, and find humane solutions for conflicts between animals and people.
