2. About Save the Rhino International – leading the charge!
At Save the Rhino International, we believe rhinos are magnificent, in themselves and as champions of the incredible wild landscapes in which they live. And they are endangered. To thrive, both rhinos and people need a world that is healthy, diverse and resilient.
We connect people striving to conserve rhinos and their habitats with people who want to support that vital work, and we contribute our own knowledge and skills to the conservation effort. Every day we work with a wonderful community of passionate friends, partners and supporters, to ensure that all five species of rhinos thrive in the wild.
Our core values, on which we will never compromise, are Integrity, Collaboration and Determination. We express those values through how we behave and talk to the world – who we are: Friendly, Knowledgeable and Passionate.
Save the Rhino International was established as a UK-registered charity in 1994. In the financial year ending 31 March 2025, we raised c. £3.4 million in support of our conservation partners in Africa and Asia.
