Help Save Endangered Species around the world
endangered species YOU are helping with Project Peril!

Every day, the future of our planet’s wildlife becomes critical. Many species will disappear from existence if we don’t take action. That’s why we’re observing Endangered Species Day all week! 

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List now includes 134,425 species, of which 37,480 are threatened with extinction. These numbers continue to rise due to human actions like habitat destruction and poaching.

The best thing we can do to protect endangered species is to protect where they live. When you give to Project Peril, you are supporting our efforts to preserve habitats crucial to the survival of threatened wildlife.

Help Save vaquitas

The Vaquita is the rarest sea mammal in existence — with fewer than 10 remaining off the coast of Mexico! This unique porpoise species, often confused with dolphins, are smaller and have a dark grey upper body that fades into a pale grey belly. Unfortunately, they’re endangered due to entanglements in illegal gillnets, used in unlawful fishery practices. But there is hope to save the species!

Project Peril works with CEDO (Intercultural Center for the Study of Deserts & Oceans) to provide trainings that focus on safe fishing practices. They also provide valuable connections and incentives for law-abiding fishermen. Their work goes a long way towards the protection of the Vaquitas species.

Vaquitas support the Gulf of California's ecosystems by balancing the populations of other species in an interdependent food web.

Help Save asian elephants

Once common throughout Africa and Asia, the elephant population has dropped by at least 50% over the last three generations — and they’re still in decline today! Asian elephant populations are most at risk from habitat loss and resulting human-elephant conflict.

Project Peril partners with Elephant Nature Park to rescue Asian elephants from abuse and exploitation, and provide a sanctuary for them to live out their lives in peace. Elephants like Sarai Mia, who was torn from her mother at a young age and was forced to do hard labor in Thailand but, because of your support, she journeyed to refuge at Elephant Nature Park.

Thanks to donors like you, adorable elephants like Sarai Mia is now 26 and living free!

Learn More on Elephants
Elephants are important ecosystem engineers. They make pathways in dense forested habitat that allow passage for other animals. An elephant footprint can also enable a micro-ecosystem that, when filled with water, can provide a home for tadpoles and other organisms.

Help Save koalas

This year, the beloved symbol of Australian wildlife, koalas, officially became an endangered species. Their numbers are in serious decline due to the effects of habitat destruction, domestic dog attacks, bushfires, and road accidents. The Australian Koala Foundation estimates there are fewer than 100,000 Koalas left in the wild, possibly as few as 43,000.

Your donations to Project Peril allow us to work with the organizations like Taronga Conservation Society Australia, which has a long history of protecting and caring for wildlife. Taronga is a non-profit and, during the bushfires, mobilized its expert wildlife veterinary team and specialist keepers to treat injured and displaced Koalas.

Learn More on Koalas
Koalas are important to the Australian environment and the ecosystem because their scat deposits feed the forest floor that help the woodlands grow and regenerate leading to an increase in biodiversity. Droppings are also known to be a source of food for small mammals and insects.
