Haiti Emergency Relief Response
IFAW’s animal relief responders in Haiti continue to work long days with the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH) to provide immediate veterinary care, vaccinations, and food to both companion and farm animals.
The team have found and cared for many injured and undernourished animals, and vaccinated and treated them for fleas and other conditions.
CRISIS: Elephants need your help!
20 years after the ivory ban, elephants are in crisis again with two countries wanting to re-open the ivory trade by selling their stockpiles.
IFAW believes ANY ivory trade leads to an increase in poaching as it provides a smokescreen for poachers to sell illegal ivory. IFAW believes that recent stockpile sales to Japan and China resulted in a huge increase in seizures of illegal ivory and poaching. This has led to some countries such as Senegal and Sierra Leone facing the prospect of their elephants going extinct.
The only solution is a total ban on ivory sales if we want any chance of saving this magnificent species.
Abused Zimbabwe Elephants Begin New Life
The nine wild elephants rescued from cruel safari training at a Zimbabwe ranch have been successfully relocated to their new home in Hwange National Park. Tracking shows the elephants have stayed together as a group as they begin their new life in a protected reserve free from abuse and neglect.
Thank you to all the incredible supporters who helped IFAW make this life-saving rescue effort possible.
