Rhino Rescue UK

Proud to be supporting Sibuya Rhino Foundation at their stunning reserve, working with good people trying hard to carry out great work despite their recent poaching. Here with our trustees Patsy Stagman and Stephanie Walsh, Sibuyas Reserve Manger Chris Ovens and Sibuyas owner Nick Fox.

We may be far away, but we are still right behind you.

Last week, Rhino Rescue Trustees Stephanie Walsh and Patsy Stagman were at Sibuya Game Reserve in South Africa, following up on the assistance we have already given to Mimi and how we can offer further help.

We look forward to bringing you fully up to date in the next few days.

Thanks Banksy.

Black rhino raised in Flamingo Land zoo has calf in Rwanda Olmoti spent her early years at Flamingo Land in North Yorkshire before being transferred to Africa.

It was World Nature Conservation Day yesterday and while our rhino are working hard to preserve their species the best way they know how, we are continually working behind the scenes raising awareness, sponsorships and generally taking care of the animals that have been entrusted to us.

We don’t believe that conservation should only be highlighted during one day of the year. For us is it a 24/7 priority that we feel should be forefront in people’s minds every single day!

Thank you for the pic Mashudu

The jury is still out…

An interesting and insightful piece regarding poaching and wildlife trade being everyone's problem...

Rhino poaching is everyone’s problem, regardless of social standing An issue as complex and intermeshed as poaching and the illegal wildlife trade cannot be resolved through law enforcement alone. Education, awareness and empathy are needed.

As we get back to work after the heatwave that South Africa has been having, slowing down our planned work, we are asking you to look at what you can do as your good deed today and going forward.

We have a couple of ideas:
*Make a donation to a cause close to your heart. A one-off donation or monthly ❤️
*Hold an event and donate the proceeds
*Do an activity as a fundraiser - such as bungee, jump out of a plane, cut your hair, run a marathon, etc.
*Gift a gift that gives back - giving someone a gift where the money you spent goes directly to projects

We couldn't do what we do without YOU!

The heat wave continues slowing down our work. In the meantime something beautiful.....
