WILDLIFE CONSERVATION NETWORK
Saving endangered species in 24 countries.
From the majestic elephants poached for their tusks to the cuddly snow leopards suffering habitat loss, the world is full of unique and beautiful wildlife. Based in San Francisco, WCN helps independent conservationists save endangered species by providing them with tools and support.
If placed end to end, the cases sold this year would be equivalent to 240 elephant footprints! That's 700 cases toward a better world to see.

Featured project
WCN has partnered with Save the Elephants to launch the $5 million Elephant Crisis Fund. More than 33,000 African elephants are killed each year. The elephant-poaching crisis is now too large for any one organization or government to solve and requires a coalition that can tackle poaching, ivory trafficking and ivory demand.
