Poachers slaughtered so many white rhinos for their horns that they completely disappeared from Western Zimbabwe two decades ago. No more rhinos – they were gone!
Then one community decided to stand up to the poachers and take back their land for the rhinos.
Now this community is training armed guards, installing electric fences, and stepping up their conservation efforts by re-introducing two white rhinos into the wild – and they’re turning to SumOfUs to keep the rhinos safe from poachers.
They urgently need donations to help protect the rhinos from poachers now, and then expand their efforts to introduce even more rhinos into the wild.
