Our Story
We focus on the protection and conservation of rhino within the private sector in South Africa. We have forged close relationships with privately-owned wildlife conservations over many years, protecting a wide variety of animals, the majority of which are listed world-wide as endangered or vulnerable. One of our main projects - and most successful focus-area - is the involvement of the public, in our rhino conservation efforts.
WHY VOLUNTEER FOR PRIVATELY OWNED PROJECTS?
South Africa is the custodian of approximately 19,000 white rhinos, with about 20% of this number in private ownership. There has been a huge decline in rhino figures since 2008. Compared to privately owned, state-owned and national parks are losing the most rhino per annum, mostly due to poaching. The private sector invests enormous amounts and efforts in the protection and breeding of rhino, which in the long run, will prove to save the species for generations to come. The cost of protecting small populations of rhino (financially and personally) is colossal, and in some cases can discourage landowners from having rhino on their land/conservations.
While the South African government is pro-active in the fight against rhino poaching, their efforts are focused on the Kruger National Park, the largest area with the most severe poaching. As a result, the government is not in a position to assist private rhino owners in anti-poaching efforts. These rhino owners are spending more than R100 000 ($US 10 000) per month per farm/conservation on security measures alone.
One of our projects is a volunteer programme that supports private rhino owners, where the public plays an active role in the protection of rhino, especially during the full moon periods when poachers are most active.
OTHER PROJECTS
We have also forged strong relationships with organisations and initiatives aimed at various aspects of rhino conservation. Our sole purpose is to strengthen the hands of already successful initiatives in the quest to ensure the survival of the rhino species. In this regard we also work with other organisations which include but are not limited to:
