Stop Poaching Now

A Palm Beach based 501c3 wildlife charity with chapters in Los Angeles, New York, and London. But, our world doesn’t have to come to this.

Each year, the number of wildlife added to the list of endangered species grows at an alarming rate due to the continuous problem of poaching. While many believe this problem is specific to regions in Africa and Asia, the consequences of poaching have a global impact. Our tiger population has diminished to just 3,200 worldwide, and each year, over 35,000 elephants die at the hands of poachers. As

hunters kill and sell animal parts across international lines, animal populations are severely damaged, ecosystems are permanently destroyed, and the magnificent creatures that we love will cease to exist. We can still save these beloved animals with your help. I started Stop Poaching Now! with the goal of providing educational resources and spreading awareness to seek an end to the illegal wildlife slaughter. All my life, I have had a strong passion for animals and giving back to the community, and I hope that our growing organization can make an international impact to speak on behalf of the animals and end this problem once and for all. Looking ahead, my greatest hope is that our future generations will be able to live in a world co-inhabited by these amazing creatures – a world where animals are safe and are able to thrive in a sustainable environment free of poachers. Stop Poaching Now!’s commitment to providing continuous educational outlets and increasing global awareness are aspirations that will not only make a real difference in the community, but will also work to help a cause that is very close to my heart. I encourage you to explore our website to learn more about Stop Poaching Now!’s efforts to fight illegal hunting and the multitude of ways that you can help our cause and animals all over the globe. Just as the smallest voices can make a huge impact, any donation can determine the very livelihood of thousands of species that we share our planet with. Please join us as we strive to stand up for these animals who cannot speak for themselves as we work to end poaching… for good. Very truly yours,

352 rhinos were illegally killed in South Africa in 2025 — a drop from 420 in 2024. Every number represents a life lost, and every effort counts in the fight against poaching. Let’s keep protecting these magnificent creatures.

Did you know lions spend up to 20 hours a day resting?

This February, take a page from the king of the jungle: relax, stick with your pride, and protect what matters most… like wildlife!

A powerful conservation success.

Nepal has nearly doubled its wild tiger population, with an estimated 235 tigers now living in the wild. This milestone, achieved through strong anti-poaching efforts, habitat protection, and collaboration between governments, NGOs, and local communities, shows what’s possible when wildlife is truly protected.

At Stop Poaching Now, this is the future we fight for - where protection leads to recovery.

A major win for animal welfare.

Indonesia has officially banned all elephant rides nationwide, ending chains and forced tourist interactions like bathing and photo sessions. The decision follows years of documented evidence showing the physical and psychological harm elephants endured in the tourism industry.

This is what ethical tourism looks like, protection over profit.

When an elephant is killed by poachers, a calf is often left behind - frightened, traumatized, and unable to survive alone.

Orphaned elephants need years of care to heal and survive. Through Adopt an Ele, these babies receive the protection, nutrition, and long-term support they need.

You can help give an orphaned elephant a future: https://www.stoppoaching-now.org/product/donation/

For the first time in years, there’s real hope for pangolins.

New data from Cameroon shows the price of pangolin scales has dropped by 45–75% - a powerful sign that illegal trafficking pressure can be reduced.

This decline is linked to lower demand from China and stronger domestic law enforcement, proving that awareness campaigns, policy changes, and on-the-ground protection work.

Pangolins are still the most trafficked mammal in the world, but this shift shows that when we stay committed, fewer animals are taken from the wild.

Progress is possible - and worth fighting for.

A major study published in Science found that dehorning rhinos reduced poaching by approximately 78% across 11 reserves in South Africa’s Greater Kruger region. Over 2,200 rhinos were dehorned, and the approach required only about 1.2% of total anti-poaching budgets, showing it can be a highly effective, cost-efficient tool when paired with strong enforcement.

Dehorning isn’t a standalone solution - but it buys critical time, reduces incentives for poachers, and helps protect rhinos while long-term conservation strategies continue.
