5 Things You've Never Seen Before
In 2012, we saw things in rhino conservation we've never seen before. Over the next few weeks, we'll be sharing them with you. One at a time.
Adopt a Rhino
The Sumatran rhinoceros is one of the most endangered mammals on Earth. No more than 200 animals survive in small, isolated forest fragments in Indonesia and Malaysia.
You can help protect the Sumatran rhino from extinction by "adopting" the rhinos at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary!
2013 International Elephant & Rhino Conservation & Research Symposium
August 26th - 30th, 2013
Presented by the International Elephant Foundation
and the International Rhino Foundation
Hosted by the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium
The pressures on wild populations of elephants and rhinos are increasing at an alarming rate. Poachers are killing elephants and rhinos at levels never seen before. Wildlife habitat continues to disappear while human-wildlife conflict increases. Break-through scientific investigation intdisease, nutrition, behavior and reproduction of elephants and rhinos in human care, ambassadors for their species, is contributing to the future survival of wild populations.
We invite elephant and rhino conservationists and researchers from around the world to present conservation projects and research results on field conservation, conflict mitigation, management, health, diseasenutrition, reproduction and behavior at our third joint International Elephant and Rhino Conservation and Research Symposium.
Come join us, meet your peers from around the world, share your experiences and best practices, make new friends and develop new professional associations.
