Save the Rhino works to conserve viable populations of critically endangered rhinos in Africa and Asia. We recognise that the future of wildlife is inextricably linked to the communities that share its habitat. By funding field projects and through education, our goal is to deliver material, long-lasting and widespread benefits to rhinos and other endangered species, ecosystems and to the people living in these areas.

The funds we raise are used to support projects that address rhino conservation through a number of measures:

• Community conservation programmes that develop sustainable methods by which local communities can creatively manage natural resources
• Environmental education programmes that teach children and adults about the importance of preserving natural resources and address human-wildlife conflict issues
• Anti-poaching and monitoring patrols, which detect and deter poachers and gather information about rhino ranges and numbers
• Translocations, so that rhinos from established populations can be reintroduced to former habitats
• Research into the threats to rhino survival and alternatives to the use of rhino horn
• Veterinary work, such as the implanting of transmitters into horns, or removal of snares

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

p.s. By the way, if you thought running the London Marathon was something a lunatic does - I'll be doing it wearing the 25lb Rhino Costume you see in the picture!  Please give to keep these wonderful animals part of our existence.  Mad Mac !
