World Rhino Day 2023

World Rhino Day is on Friday, September 22, 2023. Please join us online as we’ll be sharing news, stories and posts about rhinos all day.

Help Rhinos this World Rhino Day

This World Rhino Day, we’re striving to raise $20,000 to keep rhino populations around the world safe and growing. Every dollar you donate will make a difference. And, to celebrate World Rhino Day, two generous IRF donors have agreed to match every gift you make, dollar for dollar. That means your gift will go twice as far and make double the impact for rhinos!

Donate today
  • $5 can purchase one microchip to be implanted into a rhino’s horn in Zimbabwe, so monitors can track and protect the animal.
  • $25 can pay for hiking boots for a ranger to walk hundreds of miles on patrol in Namibia’s arid desert, keeping rhinos safe.
  • $50 can buy food and supplies for a sniffer dog that tracks poachers in Southern African rhino reserves.
  • $250 can provide a one-month supply of medicine and supplements for all 8 rhinos at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Indonesia, some of the last of their species.
  • $500 can purchase a motorbike for rangers investigating illegal wildlife crimes in India.

With your help, we can save rhinos from extinction. Thank you for joining us!

Thanks for your support Team Rhino!
