SAVE THE WATERBERG

RHINO

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to protect and conserve rhino populations in the general Waterberg biosphere area in order to preserve the natural environment and benefit local communities through the enhancement of general security, education and sustainable social upliftment.

Save the Waterberg Rhino was started in November 2012 in association with the Waterberg biosphere and Stoprhinopoaching.com. We had one mission;  to help raise awareness and support for the war against rhino poaching. Save the Waterberg Rhino enjoys a close working relationship with many recognised role players, their opinion and experience proving invaluable when identifying projects and allocating funds.
Supporting Rhino owners ,Private Reserves and General security in the Biosphere is a primary objective and as such, the majority of our resources are channelled in this direction.
