Story

*ALL FUNDS RAISED WILL GO TO SAVING THE SURVIVORS:

UK Charity Number: 1165070

USA 501 c3 Registered Charity: 83-3617056

An unprecedented opportunity has arisen for us to undertake one final comprehensive search for the Northern white rhino.

The Northern White Rhino, has recently been declared extinct in the wild. With only two infertile females left, extinction seems a certainty.  

We are raising funds to try and prevent this rhino going extinct.

Despite huge publicity around the fate of the Northern White Rhino, NO SEARCH has ever been conducted. Now there are rumours and eye witnesses of recent sightings in South Sudan!

South Sudan was the rhinos previous stronghold, but we believe some still remain in this vast area and wilderness, close to where they were last sighted in the wild.

We have to act fast. We have to try, we have to conduct a full search. We have to urgently find these rhinos before it is too late for the entire species.

Following a recent visit to South Sudan, we have uncovered evidence that has re-ignited the hope for the future of this species. An unprecedented opportunity has arisen for us to undertake one final, comprehensive search for any remaining Northern White Rhinos in the wild. 

We have spoken to eyewitnesses who state they have seen the animal in the wild and we have had other reports of rhino tracks.

Despite being declared effectively extinct, no comprehensive search has ever taken place. Until now.

A conclusive search is now possible following the signing of a declaration of peace in South Sudan. We now have an opportunity to search in this remote vast wilderness for any surviving Northern White Rhino.

We will be supported by loyal and dedicated South Sudanese security forces, whom during our preliminary search, have demonstrated their incredible passion for the wildlife of South Sudan and their investment in the legacy of the Northern White Rhino.

We refuse to accept the end of this iconic species. If you want to be a part of this journey with us, we are asking for donations that could secure the future of the Northern White Rhino and save this majestic animal. The search starts in March 2020, and every dollar raised really will allow us to search for longer. The more we raise, the more chance of our success, it’s as simple as that.

Your donations will go towards the search helicopters, camera and tracking equipment, medical supplies, and other essential expenses.

The more we raise the longer we can search.

If we do not search for this Northern White Rhino now, then we will seal a fate of extinction for this iconic species. 

We ask you to be a part of the Northern White Rhino success story, by refusing to let the story end and helping with a donation. For those that do donate, we say a big thank you, you really are now part of the team to save this rhino.

Whilst there is hope we have to try.
