Save The Rhino International

Save the Rhino International works to conserve genetically viable populations of critically endangered rhinoceros species in the wild. Our aim is to increase rhino numbers by providing financial and in-kind support for rhino projects and for community-based initiatives.
Your support will help us continue our conservation work, and protect one of the most vulnerable large species.
 
Aims
  • To increase the number of rhinos in genetically viable populations in the wild
  • To provide financial and in-kind support for projects focused on all five of the rhinoceros species
  • To encourage and enable the sharing of information, experience and skills between rhino projects
  • To measure and improve the effectiveness of our grant-making activities

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, for example 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

SRI has historically focused on black rhino projects in Africa, although for many years SRI has also supported the Northern white rhino in DRC and most recently Southern white rhino projects in Uganda and South Africa. Since 2002 SRI has funded Sumatran rhino projects in Indonesia and Malaysia, and since 2006 SRI has helped fund a major strategy aimed at the recovery of the Greater one-horned (Indian) rhino.

SRI also focuses on people-based projects (environmental education and community conservation programmes) in key rhino areas, allocating between 21% and 45% of our funding to such programmes each year.
