Cheetah. About 6,500 mature adults remain in the wild, on roughly 9% of their historical range (IUCN). Habitat loss, lost prey, cub trafficking, livestock conflict. Protection means seeing where animals and people meet before it goes wrong. https://t.co/ee4KZVNE8D

World Rhino Day. Africa lost 516 rhinos to poaching in 2024, more than one a day. About 15,750 white and 6,790 black rhinos remain, on roughly 2% of their historical range. Protection works where it is funded. https://t.co/ee4KZVNE8D

Africa has an estimated 22,000 to 25,000 lions left, on about 6% of their historical range. Where lions do well, a team is watching the landscape every day. We fund the tools for that team. Photographed in Zimbabwe. Source: IUCN Red List.

In 2014 the Great Elephant Census counted 352,271 savanna elephants, a third fewer than in 2007. 84% lived inside protected areas; poachers were operating there anyway. Zimbabwe held 82,000 of them. That is where we work. You cannot protect what you cannot count.
