DOUBLE YOUR DONATION TO
THE DAVID SHELDRICK WILDLIFE TRUST THIS GIVING TUESDAY

29 November 2016

UPDATE: Trunks Up - You did it.

We're delighted to let you know that with your help, we've hit our Matched Giving target of $75,000! That means all who donated today have helped raise an incredible $150,000 for Kenya's wildlife. From our entire team and from our matching donor, who asked to remain anonymous, we would like to say a huge thank you for donating an AMAZING amount for wildlife, which will now have double the impact.

With so many baby elephants in our care, including three orphan elephant rescues in just the last few days, these much needed funds are so gratefully received.

It is still #GivingTuesday so while we can't offer a match anymore, please don't let that stop you from donating if you intended to today. Every dollar makes a genuine difference to what we can achieve in the field and with your incredible support we will save more wild lives: www.thedswt.org/donate


Every elephant counts. Its why, over the past 40 years, we’ve successfully rescued, hand reared and reintegrated over 200 orphaned elephants.

There are more elephants out there that need us and you can help them twice as much on Tuesday 29th November, when your donations will be matched by an anonymous donor. Beyond the constant threat of ivory poaching, elephants face ever-growing challenges from human-wildlife conflict and incidents are on the rise: Roads, railways, expanding human settlements and shrinking habitats all pose a major risk to wild herds, including our ex-orphaned elephants that are now living wild.

We’re working tirelessly every day to protect wild herds, treat injured individuals and rescue orphaned infants in need. Whether keeping rangers in the field, planes in the air, milk bottles full for baby elephants, or offering emergency medical treatment to injured elephants, your donations allow us to make a direct difference in the lives of elephants in need.

This #GivingTuesday only, Tuesday 29th November, your gift will have double the impact, going twice as far in supporting the work of DSWT. However much you are able to give, all online donations made to the DSWT and U.S. Friends of the DSWT on Tuesday 29th November will be matched dollar for dollar up to a total of $75,000. That means together we have the opportunity to generate a staggering $150,000 for our protection projects in just 24 hours.

With your donation, we could seize even more snares and prevent elephants from suffering excruciating pain at the hands of these deadly traps, protect vital habitats and offer more orphaned elephants a second chance at life and ultimately, offer a brighter future to the more than 80 orphaned elephants currently in our care.

$25 will become $50, which could go towards two day’s specialist milk for orphaned elephants
$50 will become $100, which could go towards the patrol of one Anti-Poaching Team for a day
$100 will become $200, which could provide essential veterinary support for an injured elephant in need

So please, double your impact and join us today in supporting our vital and lifesaving projects and safeguarding the future of elephants.
