The northern white rhino once roamed over parts of Uganda, Chad, Sudan, Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of Congo. But poaching and severe habitat loss have forced it to the brink of extinction. It is now the most endangered of all the world’s large mammals.
We are taking action to save it – but we need your help.
Suni, a male northern white rhino, steps onto African soil for the first time ever!
Small numbers of northern white rhino have been kept and managed in captivity since the 1970s. On 19th December, with our partners we moved four magnificent northern white rhino from Dvur Kralove Zoo in the Czech Republic to Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy. These four animals represent the last hope of survival not only for this endangered subspecies, but for the valuable genes they carry.
Reintroducing these animals to their natural habitat will increase the likelihood of them breeding and - through the passing on of their unique genes - offer a lifeline to white rhino populations in the area.
Help make sure we can reintroduce a new generation of white rhinos to their African home.
Please donate today – it is a unique opportunity to stop one more extinction in the wild.
