1. GET TO THE POINT: SAVE THE RHINO
AND ITS HORN
The rhinos are heading for extinction
and are facing the “worst poaching
crisis for decades”
It‟s estimated that within 25 years the rhinos will be
extinct. Since 2009, more than 1,795 rhinos have been
killed by poachers
What can you do to help?
Even if you live on the other side of the world there are still a few things you
can do;
Don‟t support the market! Avoid purchasing items or medicines made from
rhino horn.
Donate, donate, donate! Donations support anti-poaching organizations and
rangers who actively work to keep the rhinos safe.
Donations can be made here:

But why?
Asian medicine is currently driving the market for rhino
horn. The horns are also used in furniture and décor.
