Save the Rhino

WESSA’s Call to Action
A recent report from the IUCN/Species Survival Commission reveals that what is needed to minimise the illegal killing of rhinos (through rhino protection and the use of effective investigation and prosecution techniques) and to grow rhino numbers rapidly (using monitoring to guide their biological management) is sufficient commitment and expenditure from countries with rhinos, as well as the acquisition of additional, targeted donor support. WESSA is participating by raising funds and awareness to help curb the current illegal rhino poaching.
We are looking for your support by encouraging donations to be made through our SMS line: SMS “Rhino” to 40706 or make a direct donation to WESSA with the reference “Rhino” for our Rhino Initiative.
WESSA continues to raise funds and awareness to help curb the current illegal rhino poaching.
So, how will funds raised be spent?
It must be noted that every day we are learning more about the current situation and thus whilst being proactive, we need to be flexible in our selection of interventions.
Our aim and challenge is to keep the public involved through communication and involvement as in line with WESSAs mission of getting the public to participate in caring for the Earth.
WESSA is working with a number of other credible and like-minded organisations as there is no way that we can do everything and the resource pool out there is limited. We also aim to prevent duplication with other projects so as to again optimise our resource use.
