[Match my gift for rhinos ►]( [View email as a webpage]( [WWF | Save Black Rhinos]( [DONATE]( [Black rhinoceros mother and calf, standing in Etosha]( Hi {NAME}, I’m the wildlife and landscapes program director at WWF-Namibia, and I’ve been working to conserve rhinos for over 30 years. Namibia (in southwest Africa), has more black rhinos than any other country—a tribute to the country’s successful conservation efforts. And Etosha National Park has the world’s largest black rhino population. Tragically, rhino poaching in Namibia rose dramatically last year. Most of the poaching took place in Etosha. And the killing continues in 2023. [{NAME}, will you join us today and support WWF's emergency campaign to stop the poaching crisis in Etosha and protect critically endangered black rhinos?]( 100% of your donation will go to Namibia to fund antipoaching efforts—and every gift will be MATCHED dollar for dollar by an anonymous donor. But please hurry! The match ends on World Rhino Day—this Friday. [Your $25 gift becomes $50 to save rhinos ►]( [Your $50 gift becomes $100 to save rhinos ►]( [Your $100 gift becomes $200 to save rhinos ►]( [Your gift to help save rhinos will be MATCHED ►]( Do you know what do the poachers want? The rhinos’ horns. As part of international wildlife crime networks, poachers kill rhinos to meet consumer demand for their horns. The horns are often ground up and used in traditional medicines as “cures” for a range of ailments from fevers to cancer to hangovers, a misconception that rhinos pay for with their lives. Working closely with the Namibian government and other partners, we’ve developed an emergency action plan to stop the poaching. With your support, we can protect rhinos and strengthen Etosha’s ability to save these incredible animals—and ensure Etosha is a sanctuary for all of the stunning wildlife that live here: elephants, lions, giraffes, leopards, zebras, hundreds of bird species, and more. [Will you help us save rhinos? Make your best gift today.]( Every dollar will make a difference. And every dollar will be matched. [Double your impact ►]( I’m so glad to be part of this emergency effort with you. Together, we can end the poaching crisis.
