Tell Congress: support the WILD Act, a bipartisan bill imperative to conserving wildlife and wild places. Programs vital to the protection of elephants and rhinos, great apes, marine turtles, and tigers are hanging in the balance. Make your voice heard: bit.ly/2Rnb4pB

One of the @wcs_congo team’s camera traps recently captured this image of a female #elephant and her first infant in #MbeliBai in Noubale-Ndoki National Park. Scientists there gather important information on the life histories & family bonds of local elephants, gorillas & more.

The actions of the current Administration are putting wildlife in danger. Proposed cuts could undo decades of work fighting illegal wildlife trade & protecting endangered species. Your support is needed more than ever: bit.ly/2K8MSss

Say no to cuts that will hurt elephants, tigers, rhinos, & countless other species. Tell Congress: no cuts to programs that combating wildlife trafficking, protect forests from illegal logging operations, reduce poverty, & strengthen our national security. bit.ly/2K3ldIB

Last December, we saw a spike in #elephant killings in Mozambique's Niassa National Reserve & had to scramble to help respond. It could happen again, in Niassa or elsewhere. We want to be prepared in case it does. Please make a tax-deductible gift now: bit.ly/2IRzgQL
