World Rhino Day commemorated on Friday
For this year's World Rhino Day (22 September), the Rhino Momma Project has again organised a fundraising campaign to save rhinos.“To have an even greater positive impact, we have decided to share all funds raised between the Rhino Momma Project and HoRN (Help Our Rhinos Now) Namibia,” the Rhino Momma Project said.
HoRN was founded in 2014 to support rhino owners and guardians of black rhinos in Namibia. The organisation's goal is, amongst others, to provide financial support for emergencies, rewards for witnesses who provide important information to prevent poaching, and for transporting orphaned or injured rhinos. Donations can be made on the website https://rhinomomma.com/donate/.
The project also announced that African Elegance Safaris has partnered with them by donating N$50 to the project for every safari booking made through the company.
The Rhino Momma Project is a non-profit organisation founded to financially support Namibia's largest white rhino breeding program. The programme aims to increase rhino populations and genetic diversity through reproduction. This includes relocating white rhinos back to their natural habitats and creating new populations in protected areas.
The Save the Rhino Trust is also hosting an informative and inspiring webinar dedicated to the Rhino Rangers who work tirelessly to protect these animals. “Rhinos face unprecedented challenges, from poaching to habitat loss, and we must work together to protect them and their habitat. Our webinar will feature stories from rhino rangers from South Asia and Africa,” Save the Rhino Trust said.
The webinar takes place on 22 September from 11:30 to 12:30. Participate here: https://q.my.na/52WQ
