> Dear Friend Of National Geographic,
> 
> It saddens me to inform you that the situation for elephants is dire. 
> Poachers are slaughtering them for their ivory tusks at alarming rates. 
> 
> You and I must do everything possible to stop these intelligent, sensitive 
> animals from being wiped out forever.
> 
> Please make your tax-deductible gift online right away to protect beloved 
> elephants and other threatened wildlife. 
> 
> To give you a sense of how rapidly we are losing elephants – in 1990 the 
> Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) was home to an estimated 300,000 to 
> 400,000 elephants. Today only 12,000 remain. 
> 
> It is not too late to save these treasured giants. We know how to do it. We 
> only need the resources to fully implement these measures before time runs 
> out. 
> 
> Please don't wait another minute. Make your contribution to save elephants 
> and other endangered wildlife now. 
> 
> With your help, National Geographic grantees are working to stop the poaching 
> of elephants and wildlife by:
> Providing new technology to track and identify the most vulnerable elephant 
> populations and rapidly get them the protection they need to survive
> Implementing innovative, effective, community-based programs that make 
> elephants far more valuable alive than as a pair of tusks
> Helping law enforcement stop poachers and prosecute those involved in the 
> illegal ivory trade
> DNA is becoming a powerful tool to stop poaching. For this reason, building a 
> robust elephant DNA database is a high priority. 
> 
> Seized shipments of ivory in Asia and other parts of the world are now 
> immediately submitted for DNA testing. Scientists can trace the tusks back to 
> the country of origin and often the exact region where they were poached. 
> 
> This enables law enforcement to identify criminal smuggling networks and 
> poaching hot spots. The killing of elephants stops and the smugglers and 
> poachers are prosecuted. 
> 
> Will you help stop the slaughter of elephants by making your gift today? 
> 
> I am so grateful for your willingness to act to save elephants and other 
> endangered wildlife. Together we can change their future.
