There are moments when your compassion can change far more lives than usual.
This is one of those moments.
A generous supporter has offered to double every donation made toward this appeal for East Africa’s super-tusker elephants, up to our fundraising goal.
That means your gift today can have twice the impact.
A donation of $50 (£37) instantly becomes $100 (£75).
A gift of $100 (£75) becomes $200 (£150).
For a limited time, you have the rare opportunity to protect twice as many of East Africa’s last remaining super-tusker elephants.
But this extraordinary opportunity is time-sensitive.
Fewer than 30 super-tusker elephants remain in East Africa
Imagine standing beside an elephant so immense that its ivory tusks almost touch the ground.
These are Africa’s legendary super-tuskers – elephants carrying some of the world’s most extraordinary genetics. They have survived decades of relentless poaching, shrinking habitat and increasing conflict with people.

Today, fewer than 30 are believed to remain in East Africa, and only 90 on the entire continent.
If we lose them, we lose far more than individual elephants. We lose an irreplaceable part of Africa’s natural heritage forever.
Every journey these giants take could be their last.
As these magnificent elephants move between Kenya’s Amboseli National Park and Tanzania’s Kilimanjaro landscape, they face constant danger.
Poachers know where elephants travel. Trophy hunters covet their enormous tusks, which weigh as much as 100 pounds (45 kilograms) each.
That is why our partner, Conservation Through Tourism (CTT), urgently needs additional anti-poaching drones.
Eyes in the sky. Hope on the ground.
These specialized drones allow rangers to monitor elephants across vast landscapes in real time.
From the air, they can detect suspicious activity, locate vulnerable elephants and respond far more quickly to threats than would ever be possible on foot.
Every extra drone dramatically expands the area that can be protected.
Every extra drone gives these remarkable elephants another chance to survive.
Today, your gift goes TWICE as far.
Thanks to our generous matching donor, your support today will do twice as much to help purchase these life-saving drones.

That means:
- Your compassion reaches twice as far.
- Your generosity protects twice as much habitat.
- Your gift helps safeguard twice as much of the landscape these elephants depend on.
It is rare to have an opportunity like this.
Please don’t let it pass by.
You can help write the next chapter for these giants.
Every super-tusker still walking East Africa today has survived extraordinary odds, but they have never been more threatened.
Your gift today will be matched dollar for dollar, helping CTT obtain the equipment needed to watch over these magnificent elephants before danger strikes.
Please give as generously as you can while your donation will still be DOUBLED.
Together, we can help ensure that these gentle giants continue to roam the wild landscapes they have called home for generations.
