Fifty years ago, Tanzania was home to more than 10,000 rhinos. But when poaching of the animal for its horn — prized in some cultures, predominantly Asian, for its medicinal value — escalated in the ’70s and ‘80s, rhinos from around the country were flown out, or “translocated,” to international zoos and safe havens.⁠

Rhino poaching remains a serious threat today, however, growing investment in conservation and in restoring ecosystems like the work undertaken by the Grumeti Fund has created opportunities to re-establish animal populations in protected areas where they once roamed.⁠

Such is the case at Singita Grumeti, where the Grumeti Fund working to build a founding population of black rhino that offers new hope for a species on the verge of extinction.⁠
•⁠
Singita is helping to raise $500,000 to support the next phase of this project – but we can’t do it alone. For as little as $5, you have the opportunity to make a difference that could define the future success of one of Africa’s most iconic animals.⁠
