Save the Rhino Trust, Kenya

Dedicated to protecting Kenya’s critically endangered rhino populations through rigorous anti-poaching efforts and community engagement.

Project Overview

The Save the Rhino Trust in Kenya operates across several key conservancies, focusing on the protection and monitoring of both black and white rhinoceros. Founded in 2005, its mission is to ensure the long-term survival of these magnificent creatures by combating poaching through advanced surveillance techniques, canine units, and extensive ranger patrols. The Trust also invests heavily in community development and education, understanding that local engagement is vital for conservation success. They employ and train community members as rangers and provide educational programs in local schools to foster a sense of ownership and responsibility for wildlife.

Impact and Achievement

Since its inception, Save the Rhino Trust has seen a significant increase in rhino birth rates and a dramatic reduction in poaching incidents within its operational areas. They have successfully translocated rhinos to safer, larger territories to expand their breeding grounds. Their community programs have improved livelihoods and fostered positive human-wildlife coexistence, leading to invaluable intelligence gathering against poaching syndicates. The Trust is also pioneering new technologies for wildlife monitoring and data collection.

How Travelers Can Help

Travelers can support the Save the Rhino Trust by booking safaris that visit conservancies actively involved in their work. Many lodges directly contribute conservation fees. Direct donations can also be made via their website, or you can participate in “adopt a rhino” programs. Encourage ethical wildlife viewing practices during your safari to minimize impact.
