Tropical forests are disappearing at an excessive speed and with them the last populations of great apes. All specialists are unanimous: if we do nothing gorillas, chimpanzees and bonobos will have disappeared by the middle of the 21st century. The situation of orangoutans is even more dramatic; in 20 years time, they might only exist in zoos. Today, it is important to become active in order to stop this Ecocide! We, citizens of the Earth, ask our governments and international authorities to accept as their superior duty to save and protect primates.

The largest land mammal on earth, elephants are extremely intelligent, social and grieve tremendously for the loss of family members. Can you imagine these majestic creatures being herded into family groups by helicopters, and then shot in the head by marksmen?

Tusker (or Dustbin as he is also known), is the resident elephant at Charara National Park at the Kariba Park in Zimbabwe. With his peaceful antics of raiding bins and braais he is a legend and a great favorite of tourists and locals alike. We don't want to lose him.

Since 1979 – almost 30 years ago -- the government of Nigeria has been setting deadlines for oil companies to stop their wasteful and toxic practice of gas flaring.
The current deadline to stop gas flaring is January 1, 2008. But Shell and other oil companies say they will just pay the fines and continue the gas flaring. The multinationals – who save money while Nigeria?s people, environment and economy suffer from gas flaring – want to postpone the deadline yet again to 2011.

It is with utter shock, horror and disbelief that we report the massacre
of 3 black rhino at the hands of poachers on the night of the 7th November
2007 at Imire Safari Ranch.
Just over 20 years ago, Imire Safari Ranch became the guardians of 7
orphaned black rhino. The purpose of this was to try and increase the
population of the endangered species and over the past 2 decades, the
Travers family have lovingly reared and bred these animals, successfully
releasing 13 black rhino back into Matusadonna National Park.
