You Keep Them Safe, so They Can Survive

 

    Even though it is difficult, with your help and support, we can keep rhinos, Mrican elephants, mountain gorillas and Amur tigers safe. Over the past 50 years, supporters have helped WWF and our partners bring them back from the brink of extinction although it is not a simple problem.
    We have achieved important policy wins, such as helping get the global moratorium on commercial whaling and controlling trade in endangered species like tigers. In 2010, WWF supporters played a key role in securing a commitment from the 13 tiger range countries to work together to double wild tiger numbers by 2022. At last, the world is working together to save the tiger and WWF supporters were a key part of that. You can play a vital role in ensuring that we will continue to live in a world in which animals like polar bears, orangutans, pandas, tigers, and black-flanked rock wallabies survive and thrive.
