ABOUT FIRSTFORRHINOS

Our mission is to protect and grow rhino populations through meaningful partnerships and practical, science-based action. We work to raise awareness about the decline of white rhinos, secure safe habitats where they can thrive, and safeguard them from poaching. We’re also committed to educating local communities on the value of rhino conservation while creating opportunities that support and uplift the people involved in this work.

OUR VISION

The sun setting over the rugged landscape of South Africa, casting golden hues across the savannah. Amidst this vast expanse, the Rhino Project is on a mission to move White Rhinos from South Africa to Namibia, where we aim to create a sanctuary for these magnificent creatures.

Our vision is to establish a safe haven equipped with cutting-edge anti-poaching technology and robust systems to ensure rhinos not only survive but thrive in the wild. This ambitious project involves significant costs—veterinary services, helicopters, permits, and transport—all essential to the relocation and long-term protection of these endangered giants.

Every step of this journey is crucial, and the survival of a species on the brink of extinction can't be measured by dollars alone. Being part of this conservation effort means playing a vital role in the fight to save and repopulate the White Rhino.

Poverty and misinformation in nearby communities often fuel poaching, as syndicates exploit vulnerable individuals. By fostering economic opportunities and educating these communities, we can reduce poaching and offer a brighter future for both the rhinos and the people who live alongside them.

Join us in this vital mission. Together, we can make a difference in preserving the beauty and balance of our wild spaces.
