Conserving wildlife through strengthening people.

Did you know camels aren’t the only animals with humps? Rhinos have one too!

The large mass found at the back of a #rhino's neck is a mass of strong muscles and ligaments supporting the animal's large head, which tends to be held low to the ground.

Happy #hump day, everyone!

Literally, just hanging out.

Can you guess which animal this patterned fur belongs to?

A little clue: they are big felines that are probably faster than a typical house cat!

United for Wildlife’s Global Summit also pays tribute to wildlife rangers who are on the frontline of the illegal wildlife trade.

The death of Anton Mzimba, a close colleague of many in the UfW network, served as an awful reminder of the threat that many rangers still face.

Africa’s close-knit conservation community has been reeling since Anton Mzimba, the lead ranger at a reserve in South Africa, was gunned down in front of his family in July. The shooting has raised fears that poachers are targeting wildlife protectors.
