Yao Ming aims to save Africa's elephants by persuading China to give up ivory
You guys should consider donating to the International Anti-Poaching Foundation[0][1] which fights these poachers. The founder, Damien Mander[2], is an Australian ex spec-ops sniper who is using his military experience to train the park rangers since they, unlike the poachers, tend to be poorly equipped and trained as well as understaffed.<p>There is also the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust[3][4] which takes care of elephant and rhino orphans (most of them are orphans due to poaching). For $50 a year, you can become a sponsor of a particular animal and they'll send you photos  and updates about how your sponsored animal is doing. You can for example sponsor this little fella [5][6].<p>[0] <a href="http://www.iapf.org/en/" rel="nofollow">http://www.iapf.org/en/</a><p>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Anti-Poaching_Foundation" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Anti-Poaching_Fou...</a><p>[2] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Mander" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damien_Mander</a><p>[3] <a href="http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org</a><p>[4] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sheldrick_Wildlife_Trust" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sheldrick_Wildlife_Trust</a><p>[5] <a href="http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/asp/orphan_profile.asp?N=318" rel="nofollow">http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/asp/orphan_profile.asp...</a><p>[6] <a href="http://instagram.com/p/sigT3IAUKb" rel="nofollow">http://instagram.com/p/sigT3IAUKb</a>
