Protect Giant Anteaters—and the People Who Share Their Roads

In Brazil’s Cerrado biome, giant anteaters are among the top species killed in vehicle collisions. As expanding highways cut through their habitats, these accidents have become deadly—for both wildlife and drivers.

Greater Good Charities is partnering with ICAS, a leading wildlife conservation organization in Brazil, to change that. Through the Anteaters and Highways Project, the team is working to reduce roadkill fatalities, gather critical movement data, and improve road planning to make highways safer for all.

They’re also advancing conservation through habitat management, community education, and groundbreaking research—including monitoring the world’s only known wild albino anteater.

Your support helps protect lives, safeguard biodiversity, and create a safer future for people and wildlife alike.

Giant Anteaters Are at Risk

The giant anteater, found in Central and South America, is classified as vulnerable, with fewer than 5,000 individuals remaining in the wild. These fascinating creatures play a vital role in ecosystem balance by feeding on ants and termites, but they face threats like habitat loss, road collisions, and hunting.

Much about giant anteaters remains a mystery, and understanding their population dynamics, growth rates, and health is crucial for their protection. Greater Good Charities is partnering with researchers in Brazil to study this incredible species and help ensure their survival.

Protecting animals like the giant anteater is about more than saving a single species—it’s about preserving entire ecosystems for generations to come. Your donation will fund critical research and conservation efforts to protect these animals and their habitats. Donate today and make a lasting difference!
