Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The World Wildlife Fund said it has evidence that the rare Sumatran rhinoceros is breeding on Borneo island.

Raymond Alfred, an official with the WWF, said film taken in February in a remote forest in Malaysia's Sabah state indicated that a rhinoceros was pregnant.

Mr Alfred said today the area must be protected from logging activity.

The picture is only the third piece of evidence since 2007 suggesting that the critically endangered species might be breeding in the wild.

Conservationists warned the rare animals could face extinction in the next 10 years.
