Hippos are disappearing from the wild, but the United States still fuels demand for imports of hippo parts and products. In a decade alone, consumers from the states hoovered down more than 9,000 hippo teeth, 4,000 leather products, 2,000 trophies and 1,700 carvings. That’s why the Center and allies are calling on usfws this #WorldHippoDay to protect these beloved water horses under the Endangered Species Act. Learn more about our legal actions for hippos.
