Join Blue Rhino and the International Rhino Foundation as we Turn Up the Heat on Illegal Poaching.
Rhinos have walked the earth for more than 50 million years. Nearly 100 rhino species once roamed throughout the world; now just 5 species remain. You can help us Keep the Five Alive.
About the Partnership
Tank exchange brand Blue Rhino and the International Rhino Foundation (IRF), a global wildlife conservation organization, will partner to raise awareness of rhino conservation efforts around the world.
IRF, founded in 1991 as the International Black Rhino Foundation and expanded four years later in recognition of the peril faced by the other four living rhino species (White, Greater One-Horned, Sumatran, and Javan), operates on-the-ground programs where rhinos reside in Africa and Asia, supporting viable rhino populations and their surrounding communities.
Blue Rhino serves as the nation’s No. 1 propane tank-exchange brand and fuels the backyard memories of millions of propane consumers each year. Found at more than 60,000 stores in the U.S., the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, Blue Rhino helps light up customers’ grills, patio heaters, firepits, and more to help create these special memories with family, friends, and neighbors alike. The brand was named for a rhino seen on an African photo safari and the color of a propane flame.
