Created in 1985 by Gérard Pasanisi, the Wildlife Conservation Foundation of Tanzania aims to protect Tanzania's unique wildlife heritage.With its 12 national parks and numerous Game Reserves, Tanzania has one of the unique ecosystems of the world and hosts one of the largest concentrations of elephants, making it a prime target for poachers. Thanks to the Wildlife Conservation Foundation of Tanzania and local authorities, the two main poaching networks in Tanzania but also in Kenya and Mozambique have been dismantled. Despite this protection, the African Bush Elephant is listed, since March 2021, as "endangered" on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species. It is critical that to save this species from extinction.Elephant poaching, engaged in a cruel way, is the greatest threat to elephants' survival. To fuel the ivory illegal trade, it has increased dramatically these last years. From 1989 to 2020, more than 90,000 elephants were killed. Men are fighting out in the field to protect them, sometimes risking their lives. It is a real Ivory War that is being waged out there and we need your support to allow their actions to continue. WCFT act in the field by funding mobile anti-poaching units, hence accelerating the roll-out of policing in Tanzania national parks; providing patrols with vehicles and fuel; upgrading equipments (radios, satellite phones, drones, GPS...) and training rangers units how to use them effectively or also by subsidizing campaigns to raise public awareness locally.We need your support. Help us save the species.
