Strategic Protection of Threatened Species
ONE MORE GENERATION
OMG and SPOTS teamed up in an effort to help raise awareness to the dire issue of rhino poaching. Unless we can motivate
South African President Zuma to take stark actions to immediately curb poaching in South Africa, Rhino’s will go extinct in our
lifetime. We are asking students (and adults) to help us show President Zuma how urgent it is for him to get involved. We can
make a difference for these animals by writing a letter to President Zuma asking him to do something now. The goal is to collect
1,000 letters and/or drawings addressed to President Zuma. We plan on having the letters personally delivered to President
Zuma to show him and his staff how much we in America (and all over the world) care for these animals.
Please see instructions here: Dear President Letter Writing and Awareness Campaign
JUMBO FOUNDATION ELEPHANT ORPHANAGE
Jumbo Foundation is a registered non profit organisation, who care for large wild animals that are milk dependent until they are
ready to be released back into the wild. Right now they are taking care of an orphan elephant named Moses. Moses got separated
from his herd and was found in a river. His family could not be located and he is now in the good hands of his human mommy,
Jenny, who sleeps with him every night on a mattress in her dining room. It takes a lot of effort to raise a baby elephant.
They grieve for their mom (elephants shed tears and grieve just like humans) and it needs mental stimulation, daily monitoring,
skin care, and vet care. None of this comes cheap and Jenny needs your help to raise this baby and put it back into the wild.
Moses deserves to live a free, safe and happy life and you can make it happen.
Here is an example of his formula:
* S26 number 1 milk formula (2.8 kg a day)
* Dessicated coconut (720g a day)
