Tools in our toolbox: Join our fight against rhino poaching
Our dedicated team and partners are working tirelessly, using every tool in our toolbox to combat this crisis.
With your support, here’s how IRF is making a difference:
- Advanced Technology: Our partners are utilizing cutting-edge technology, including AI-enabled rhino collars, drones, GPS tracking and thermal imaging, to monitor and protect rhinos in their natural habitats. These tools enable ranger teams to respond quickly and stay one step ahead of poachers.
- Rhino Monitoring and Rhino Protection Teams: Our partners, working alongside reserve and protected area staff, train and deploy teams of rangers, both human and K9, and rhino monitors, who are the boots on the ground patrolling key areas, ensuring rhinos are safe and responding swiftly to any threats. Their courage and dedication are vital to our efforts.
- Community Engagement: We are working closely with local communities, helping them advocate for rhino conservation and assisting to generate alternative income opportunities to reduce dependence on poaching and other extractive activities.
With your help, we can save rhinos from extinction. Thank you for joining us!
