CREMA
Elephants throughout Africa are under threat. Some are poached for their ivory, while others face loss of habitat due to population pressure, conflict, deforestation and drought.
The Riester Foundation cares about protecting earth’s unique creatures and their environments.
Why? Because as global warming continues to be a threat to many habitats, we feel it’s our duty to stand up for the creatures who don’t have a voice.
Our projects ensure that majestic sea turtles in Central America have a safe place to lay their eggs, that elephants in Kenya aren’t harmed for their ivory and that Yellow-Billed Cuckoos near our headquarters in Arizona have free space to roam.
