There's actually not to much being done to save Hippos. There are park rangers at certain places trying to keep them alive, but they can only do so much. The main thing saving hippos are donations given by generous people. People donate money so there can be more park rangers, because there arn't enough to really pay attention to all of whats going on. Not to long ago they found a dead Hippo burned under a pile of wood in Vitshumbi. Lake Edwards needs a lot of donations and help. In 1976 there were 27,000 Hippos in and around lake Edwards. In 2005 there were only thanks to poachers there are around 350. Today because of more donations they have around 1,200 but donations are the only things saving these amazing animals.
