URGENT: We must rescue Mohan immediately. Meet Mohan, The Elephant Who Disappeared. Everybody seems to know the story of Raju, the
courageous elephant who stole our hearts when he wept during his
rescue.
Because of this, we absolutely must send a team in to rescue Mohan asap!
We simply couldn't decide who to rescue first, so our intentions were to take them both together. But, tragically, Mohan disappeared without a trace during our final rescue preparations. Since that day we have had heavy hearts and have agonized about his welfare.
We tell you
this now, because we are thrilled to report that we have located Mohan! We are
determined to bring him home and reunite him with Raju asap, but we need your
help to do it!
Our goal is to raise $109,500 by March 23rd (and thanks to donations already received, we are nearly 1/3 of the way there). That's just one week, but we believe that your generosity and your compassion can make this miraculous rescue opportunity a reality.
Let's bring him home.
However, what most people don't know is on that hot night in July, there were supposed to be two elephants freed. Yes, two! Planning had started weeks before to rescue two elephants simultaneously, Raju and Mohan. Both elephants had suffered ceaselessly for over a century in combined years. And for a few of those years, they languished side by side, only a trunk's length away from one another.
Because of this, we absolutely must send a team in to rescue Mohan asap!

Since
we last wrote to you about our intent to rescue Mohan, the situation in Lalganj,
where he is being kept, has become extremely dangerous.
The longer we wait, the more dangerous the situation could become, for both our staff and for Mohan.
Can you help us with a donation right away?
We thought we would have several more days to meet our goal of $109,500 to support this rescue and Mohan's treatment, but now, that timeline has been shortened dramatically.
Wildlife SOS team members are ready and willing to put themselves in harm's way to bring Mohan to safety. Your support would mean the world to them.
When our veterinary team
went to check on Mohan's wounds early this morning, they were confronted by an
angry mob of people.
Knowing of our intent to rescue Mohan, his mahout had incited a local group to stop us, seemingly by any means necessary. Our team had to flee to a neighboring village to escape.

As always, thank
you for being such an important part of our work. We would love nothing more
than to send you another email very soon, letting you know that Mohan is safe,
and that he is on his way to join Raju and the rest of the elephants in the Herd
of Hope.
