IFAW Will Guide US

A gift in your Will could help fund innovative programs like our initiative to ending poaching using counter-terrorism techniques. Poaching is a greed-driven crime that robs an animal of its life, communities of their stability, and the world of our valued species. It must be stopped. tenBoma combines information from local and global sources, like rangers, local people and satellite images, to predict and prevent a poacher’s next strike. Since tenBoma launched in Kenya, ivory poaching has dropped 83% and the African elephant population has increased by an astonishing 1,700 individuals. tenBoma was set up by Lieutenant Colonel Faye Cuevas, who was previously a counter-terrorism intelligence agent. She said: “I found out that because of poaching, in around ten years elephants in the African wild would be gone. I was horrified that my then six-year-old daughter might never have the opportunity to see them. It was that, and the fact that we’d be the generation that lost them, that spurred me to do something.” Poachers continually find new ways of hunting elephants and avoiding capture. We haven’t won the battle to end the ivory trade yet. But with your support, we are determined to stay one step ahead. your gift will make an immediate and lasting impact on animals 4 learnmore today,weareprotectingelephants bystoppingpoachersbefore theystrike.
