Rhinos were once widespread across Africa"s savannas và Asia"s tropical forests. But today very few rhinos survive outside national parks & reserves. Successful conservation efforts have helped subspecies like the greater one-horned (or Indian) rhino, to lớn increase in number. In Africa, đen rhinos have doubled in number over the past two decades, but total numbers are still a fraction of the estimated 100,000 that existed in the early part of the 20th century. Increasingly, rhinos are killed by poachers for their horns. WWF works lớn help governments & authorities crack down on wildlife crime. We set up training for law enforcement, track rhino movements via transmitters and set up hotlines—all to help stop poachers & build a future in which the rhino can thrive.

Polar bears spend the majority of most of their lives on frozen Arctic sea ice. The loss of sea ice habitat due lớn climate change is now the greatest threat to lớn their survival. WWF aims khổng lồ sustainably preserve the rich biodiversity of polar bear habitats. We work with partners & local communities to establish a management plan for the “Last Ice Area” in Canada and Greenland—a region scientists believe will be preserved as sea ice longer than anywhere else. The plan conserves habitat for all Arctic ice dependent species & protects the cultural heritage & economic needs of local people.
Orangutans have experienced sharp population declines. A century ago there was likely more than 230,000 orangutans in the wild. Today, the Bornean orangutan is estimated to lớn number about 41,000 và the Sumatran about 7,500, and their habitats are fast disappearing. WWF has worked on orangutan conservation since the 1970s. Our efforts include conserving orangutan habitat, stopping poachers, promoting sustainable forestry & agriculture, & halting the orangutan pet trade.
