About Save the Rhino International

In just 30 years 97% of the world’s rhino population was wiped out. A combination of poaching and habitat loss reduced the total world rhino population from 500,000 to less than 13,000.

Save the Rhino International 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.

Since 1990, Save the Rhino International (SRI) has evolved into the leading non-profit rhino organisation. We are committed to ensuring the survival of the rhinoceros species in the wild by working closely with local communities and providing ongoing support for wildlife managers and game rangers. The charity works in close consultation with rhino conservationists in Africa and Asia and attempt to bridge the gap between these experts in the field who are desperately in need of funds and people living in the UK who are able to help.

Money is raised through marathons, challenges - Rhino Adventures, parties, club nights, lectures, Rhino Direct Club and sale of merchandise. This income is sent directly to rhino field conservation projects, currently in Namibia, Kenya and Tanzania.

By saving the rhino it is also protecting the areas in which they live, and the other species that live with them. The rhino is a vital ecological indicator species, if they are lost forever it will be a catastrophic warning for the conservation of wildlife and wilderness world-wide.
