This video was created in an effort to help people understand the effects of rhino poaching. Reported poaching statistics remain inaccurate because they do not include rhinos that survive the trauma of poaching, but may die later from infection, starvation or other reasons related to their trauma. The reported numbers also do not include orphaned rhinos that die because they no longer receive the care and protection they require from their mother.
There are several ways you can get involved to help save the African rhino. Organizations like the ones listed below are on the front lines of this fight. Their efforts, combined with the efforts of people like you, have helped bring the rhinoceros back from the brink of extinction. But there is still much to be done. Please consider donating to, volunteering with, or purchasing merchandise from one of these organizations. The rhinoceros needs our help. It's not too late to take action and Save the African Rhino!
