Let's hear it for pangolins!

Not long ago, these endangered animals were virtually unknown to much of the world. But thanks in part to the growing awareness and advocacy from YOU, they're finally getting the attention they deserve. That rising public support is helping create real momentum for their protection and reduce the demand for pangolin products.

Here are three recent wins for pangolins worth celebrating:

- China removed all pangolin-based medicines from its official medicine list in 2025.

- In Cameroon, the average price of pangolin scales fell 45%-75% between 2020 and 2025 — a sign that traffickers are losing buyers. [Source: LAGA]

- In 2024, a group of traditional medicine professionals formed a global coalition to replace formulas using endangered species such as pangolins with sustainable, plant-based alternatives. This growing movement is helping traditional medicine return to its roots in balance, sustainability, and harmony with nature.

We firmly believe that when human behavior changes, endangered species can recover. Let’s keep the momentum going!

During our livestream yesterday, our CEO Meaghan Brosnan shared the story of Bella, an endangered leatherback turtle who returned to the same beach in Ecuador where she was born to lay her eggs.

Thanks to months of monitoring, protection, and care by WildAid and our partners, more than 130 leatherback hatchlings emerged from Bella's nests in April. In 10 to 15 years, some may return to this very same beach to nest — continuing a cycle of survival.

Stories like Bella’s are rare. Fewer than 650 mature female leatherbacks remain in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, which is a staggering 97% population decline in the past few decades.

That's why your support is so important. Donate before midnight tonight and your gift will be TRIPLED to help protect endangered species like Bella and the habitats they rely on: https://wildaid.org/?form=donate&utm_campaign=wod_2026&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=WOD-bella-fb-061226

We work to protect elephants from threats like poaching, habitat loss, and climate change by starting at the source: human behavior.

By shifting consumer demand, inspiring local stewardship, and strengthening laws that protect wildlife and wild places, we're helping create a future where elephants can thrive.

Conservation happens when people choose to be part of the solution. :elephant:

Alexandre Vailia Nguertou is the Field Operations Manager at Cameroon’s Bouba Ndjida National Park, where he helps coordinate patrols and guide ranger teams across a vast landscape threatened by poaching. Whether responding to reports of illegal activity or maintaining a visible presence in the field, his work helps safeguard elephants, giraffes, large carnivores, and countless other species that call the park home.

Alexandre understands what's at stake. Without surveillance and protection in the park, wildlife populations would quickly disappear.

His message is simple: protecting nature is in everyone's interest. The biodiversity we have today exists because people chose to protect it, and it's up to all of us to ensure it endures for generations to come.

Alexandre's story is part of our hashtag series. Be inspired by more stories like his here: https://wildaid.org/natures-champions/?utm_campaign=gen_2026&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=NC-alexandre-fb-060926

Happy World Oceans Day!

Let's share a moment of gratitude for our ocean, the ecosystem that sustains us all. It is our greatest ally against climate change, supports nearly 80% of all animal species, and just being near it can ease stress and anxiety. ❤

But this powerhouse ecosystem is under growing pressure from destructive illegal fishing, plastic pollution, habitat destruction, warming waters, and biodiversity loss. From coral reefs to mangroves to the migratory species that cross entire oceans, marine life is facing mounting threats driven by human activity.

There is only ONE ocean. It is a single, interconnected system that touches every corner of the planet. What happens in one part affects the whole, which is why protecting it everywhere has never been more important.

This , help defend the wildlife and ecosystems that keep our planet healthy. Make a gift to WildAid and support efforts to protect marine life, strengthen ocean enforcement, and safeguard critical habitats for generations to come.

Donate now and your gift will be TRIPLED for the ocean and wildlife you love: https://wildaid.org/?form=donate&utm_campaign=wod_2026&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=WOD-fb-060826

? Pregnant hammerhead sharks time their migrations with the full moon. 🦈🌕

As if on cue, when the moon is full, these females begin an extraordinary journey across the Eastern Tropical Pacific, swimming nearly 30 miles a day for weeks to reach protected mangrove nurseries along the coast of Central America.

There, their pups are born in shallow waters rich with food and safe from predators before the mothers return to the open ocean, completing migrations that can span up to 2,500 miles round-trip.

Over their lifetime, a single female may travel more than 120,000 miles in total. That’s roughly halfway to the moon!

At WildAid, we help protect these sharks along their remarkable journeys by reducing destructive illegal fishing, which threatens hammerheads and other marine life.

Celebrate by supporting our lifesaving work and your donation will be TRIPLED in impact. Make a gift here: https://wildaid.org/?form=donate&utm_campaign=wod_2026&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=WOD-hammerhead-migrations-fb-060426
