The illegal wildlife trade is booming and has no intention of slowing down. One pound of elephant ivory sells for $3,500. If elephants are gone for good, the value of that ivory will skyrocket. Elephants are not the only species facing extinction, and if humanity doesn’t act, there will be devastating consequences.

Stop Poaching Now! (SPN!)  is  committed to wildlife conservation, the battle against poaching, and the use of education to raise awareness and decrease the demand for illegal wildlife goods. 

When you support Stop Poaching Now! you are supporting the following organizations and the incredible work they do all over the world.

PROJECT RHINO

‘Project Rhino’ collaborates with top conservation organizations, state and local game reserves, rhino owners, and experts in anti-poaching in efforts to protect South Africa’s wildlife.
