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 discovery of three dead Javan rhinos has added urgency to efforts to save one of the world's most endangered mammals.
An electric fence was being built around a new sanctuary and breeding ground in Indonesia today as camera-trap footage was reviewed to get a better idea of just how many remain. The best estimate so far is around 50.
Wildlife activists, meanwhile, were joining discussions about relocating some of the five-ton animals to protect them from diseases or natural disasters.
Currently, all but a handful live in a densely forested national park in western Indonesia, making them all the more vulnerable.
The International Rhino Foundation says that "without drastic action, some rhinos could be extinct in the wild within the next 10 to 20 years"
