Indonesia (RAINFOREST ACTION NETWORK) : We can’t let ELEPHANTS become a memory !

 

Dear friend, On the island of Sumatra, the smallest elephants in the world are facing enormous challenges. These incredible creatures, known for their intelligence and social nature, are now critically endangered with fewer than 1,000 left in the wild by some estimates. The leading cause of their decline ? The relentless destruction of their rainforest home. This World Elephant Day, you have the power to make a difference. You can be a hero in the story of the Sumatran elephants' survival. When you make a gift, you can help us combat the corporations responsible for the devastating deforestation that threatens the very existence of these gentle giants.

Imagine a baby elephant, playfully trotting beside its mother in the vibrant, green rainforest. This path, woven into their ancestral journey, has been their lifeline for generations. It's where they find everything they need to flourish—food, water, and safety. But right now, Conflict Palm Oil plantations are pushing deeper into untouched rainforests, destroying these critical trails acre by acre. As the forest falls to greed, the elephants pay the ultimate price, inching ever closer to extinction. The Leuser Ecosystem, a crucial haven of biodiversity and a key climate stabilizer, faces deliberate fires and unchecked logging. These threats make the majestic creatures that depend on it more vulnerable than ever. Poachers exploit the chaos, creeping into once-protected areas, putting these magnificent animals at grave risk. This lush haven, bursting with vibrant life, isn't just a refuge for animals; it's vital for our planet's health, and it's under relentless attack. Challenge Habitat Destruction! This World Elephant Day, will you join us in protecting their home? With YOUR help, we can give these elephants a fighting chance. Your actions matter, friend. Together, we've already safeguarded vital rainforest bridges essential for the elephants' migration. But our work is far from over. These creatures are facing increasing threats every day, driven by the relentless demand for commodities like palm oil and paper—products that yield quick profits at a steep cost to our natural world. Let's tackle these industries head-on and secure the expansive wild spaces that Sumatran elephants need to thrive. Ready to make a difference?
