As a result of our intensive protection efforts, 11 of the 14 elephant populations we support experienced a reverse in their decline. In a 2014 Vietnam survey, 34% of people said rhino horn could cure cancer. We helped drop that number to 9%. Under pressure from AWF activists, Rakuten, Japan's largest online retailer, agreed to stop selling ivory. Our Classroom Africa program is preparing rural children for a prosperous future while instilling in them a deep love of wildlife. Kenya's wildlife crime conviction rate was 44% in 2013. Our sniffer dogs and law enforcement trainings helped increase it to 91%.

You helped us achieve this. But there's still so much more for us to do. We won't stop while Africa's wildlife remains threatened – so we're grateful to have you with us.
