Focused Conservation is closing out 2025 grateful for the partners, rangers, investigators, and supporters who stood with us on the frontlines against wildlife trafficking. Together, we move into 2026 focused, committed, and ready. focusedconservation.org


In 2025, we stood with wildlife crime units across Africa to disrupt trafficking networks - enforcement, training & community engagement. 45 operations. 87 traffickers arrested. 1,600+ animals rescued/seized-502kg ivory, 500kg pangolin scales and more! focusedconservation.org


Wildlife traffickers continue to exploit desperate buyers yet the only shocking truth is the cruelty behind the trade. Our team and Nigeria Customs’ Special Wildlife Office rescued 3 white-bellied pangolins and arrested 3 traffickers. Two survivors are safe at @GreenfingersWI

Zeytin belongs in Africa. This young, critically endangered gorilla was rescued from wildlife traffickers but now remains confined in a Turkish zoo instead of a proper African sanctuary. Wild animals belong in the wild. Join us in calling for his return! focusedconservation.org
