Help unlock these important funds >>       Elephants are highly social. They look out for one another's survival and the survival of their young. Each elephant death is deeply felt and mourned—yes, mourned—by the elephant's family and herd. The loss of elephant populations can be reversed, but it requires investment from caring supporters like you to save them. With your help, National Geographic Explorers are working on the ground in places where elephants once roamed. Your support today will help protect elephants and other threatened wildlife. And if 250 donors like you make a gift before midnight Monday, you will unlock an additional $25,000 of critical funding! Give what you can now to help unlock $25,000 for wildlife and wild places >> Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique, called the "Serengeti of the South," is a place where elephants once freely roamed. A civil war decimated their population and habitat, and now hungry elephants sometimes move into human cropland to feed. National Geographic Explorer Dominique Gonçalves is one of the park managers working to reverse the human-elephant conflict and help aid the recovery of elephant populations into the park. An important part of Dominique's work is building community with those who live around Gorongosa, and we are also building a community of conservationists right here, among our generous donors. When you give to the National Geographic Society, you are joining our community of conservationists fighting for wildlife and wild places. We need you with us, now more than ever. We have the opportunity to secure $25,000 in grant funds, but only if 250 donors step up before MIDNIGHT MONDAY, OCTOBER 19. Every single day, the National Geographic Society works to help protect threatened wildlife, and these efforts help save thousands of animals every year. But none of what we do can succeed without your support. Your gift today will go even further: When you join us as one of the 250 donors needed by midnight Monday, you'll unlock a $25,000 Challenge Grant. We know we can meet this goal, because we are surrounded by a community of people like you.
