12 Days Save the Rhino Safari
Tens of thousands of rhinos once thrived in Africa’s landscape. Since the beginning of the 20th century, humans have pushed the species to the brink of extinction due of extensive poaching. The surviving rhinos are concentrated in sanctuaries where they are protected from poachers. Thus populations in these sanctuaries are increasing. In the future, rhinos from these critically important breeding populations may be reintroduced to their former homes. The Save the Rhino Safari entails support of the Rhinos by visiting the Wildlife Conservancies where they are protected.
