Whilst Saving the Wild has not asked the public for donations for many years, we are always grateful to those who choose to donate willingly. We are of course incredibly grateful to our private donors and social enterprise partners for their unwavering loyalty over the years.

South Africa is home to nearly two thirds of the world’s remaining rhino population, and yet there is no minimum sentencing for rhino poaching. Across the border in Mozambique it is 16 years, and in Zimbabwe it is 9 years. 

Here in South Africa, court cases drag on for years, sometimes longer than a decade, and the conviction rate is pitiful. Most rhino poachers either get off completely, or they get a fine, or a very short prison term, thus making it an excellent business for criminal syndicates. All the while, rangers and police keep arresting repeat offenders. 

Why steal a car when you can kill a rhino at far less risk? 

The thing is, there is no insurance policy for extinction. 

Saving the Wild’s long term goal is to get meaningful legislation across the line to protect rhinos. We have a team of pro bono attorneys working on this, and any additional funds raised will go towards advocacy and education within the courts.
