Charity Details:

Rhino poaching numbers have ascended at an alarming speed the last four years. From 83 reported poachings in 2008, to 448 reported poachings in 2011. Current poaching numbers for 2012 is already at 245 – June 12th, 2012. Approx 1.5 rhino per day. At this rate the African rhino is in great danger of being extinct in as little as seven years time. Statistics show that we might be losing up to 600 or more rhino this year.



Rhino hunting is still legal in South Africa – despite numerous petitions, letters and attempts from various nature conservation groups and organizations, to bring it to a close. This increases the number of rhino deaths immensely.  



Rhino Rescue Project, is the primal beneficiary for the event:

“Our mission is to provide a sustainable, cost effective defensive strategy to protect rhinos in South Africa and elsewhere from poaching. Our all-inclusive, holistic protection program includes horn treatment (*not removal), indelible dye, microchips, tracking technology and DNA sampling and storage.”
