Can you imagine a world without elephants?

{NAME}, we need you by our side to protect elephants and other vulnerable wildlife from so many threats. {NAME}—thousands of elephants are killed every year, slaughtered for their tusks for the illegal wildlife trade.

[View email as a webpage]( [WWF logo]( [DONATE]( [African forest elephant in dense rainforest]( Hi {NAME}, Did you know that the bond between a mother elephant and her calf is one of the closest of any mammal? Calves rely completely on their mothers as they learn to survive in the wild. Tragically, poaching for the illegal elephant ivory trade leaves many young elephants orphaned and facing an uncertain future. A staggering number of elephants are killed each year for their tusks. Poaching—and habitat loss and fragmentation resulting in increased human-wildlife conflict—threaten the survival of so many species, including tigers and black rhinos. I think World Elephant Day on Monday is the ideal moment to create a safer world for vulnerable wildlife everywhere.
