This is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to save
an entire herd of elephants from being gunned down.
Dear
Jack,
WE MUST ACT NOW to save a large herd of elephants - adults
and babies - that face the firing line in the southeast
African country of Malawi.
The elephants - in a desperate search for food and water -
are raiding storage areas and feuding with human
communities. Villagers are putting down nail-bedded planks
and setting snare traps that cut through the elephants' skin
- leaving gaping wounds in their legs and trunks.
Three of the elephants have already had their trunks
amputated by these vicious snares.
Now authorities plan to execute the entire herd if
it is not moved from the area.
Please help save these elephants now - make
your emergency donation right away so that IFAW
can move them to safety.
IFAW has located a perfect spot for the elephants in a park
called the Majete Wildlife Reserve. The animals that used to
live there were poached to extinction, but the Malawi
government has made the new park a protected sanctuary - an
ideal place for these threatened elephants.
Unfortunately, Majete is over 100 miles away - so moving
these giants will be a monumental task.
In order to transport over a half-million pounds of elephant
100 miles, we're going to need major equipment, brute
strength, a lot of animal-moving expertise, and
funding to help pay for this urgent move.
Your contribution will help us:
- Purchase
the medicine needed to safely sedate the elephants - so
they don't hurt themselves or the handlers.
- Pay for
the helicopter needed to track the elephants down and
shoot them with tranquilizer darts.
- Supply
all other ground transportation costs, including the
huge trucks and support vehicles needed to carefully
transport the elephants to Majete.
We have
a large team in place...we have a helicopter and trucks
ready to go...and we have plenty of experience moving
elephants...
Now all we need is your donation.
The Malawi Department of Parks and Wildlife has already
agreed to partner with us on this special project. But we
need to act fast. If the elephants aren't moved
by June 5th, they will be shot.
Please help us move them to safety -
make your emergency donation today.
Thank you from the elephants,

Fred O'Regan
IFAW President
p.s. I know we can save the lives of these elephant families
- but we must act now. Please
rush to their rescue while there is still time
to save their lives. |

All gifts to IFAW represent a contribution to IFAW's entire
mission. Donations will be used where they are most needed
to help animals.
Worried about Donating online?
I used to be too ... so I made sure our online system is
safe, secure, and state-of-the-art. It also eliminates
check-processing costs, so more money goes directly to
saving animals. But if you prefer to donate by phone or
mail, simply
click here for address information.
