Today, fewer than 27,000 rhinos remain in Africa and Asia. Poaching for their horns and habitat loss continuously threaten the future of these distinctive giants.

But it’s not too late to save rhinos.

Of the five remaining species of rhino, three of them—black, Javan, and Sumatran rhinos—are Critically Endangered, and as recently as 2018, the northern white rhino subspecies has gone extinct in the wild.

If we act now and support efforts to protect rhinos, this remarkable species will thrive again.

The Rhino Recovery Fund (RRF) invests in the most effective organizations and projects dedicated to defending our remaining rhinos and supporting their recovery. By funding the best efforts aimed at stopping rhino poaching, ending demand for their horns, protecting rhinos’ natural habitats, and making rhinos relevant to the societies that live with them, the RRF will help restore healthy rhino populations across Africa and Asia. Read more about our strategy.

100% of every dollar donated to the RRF will be deployed to the field, ensuring that every individual makes an impact toward saving rhinos.

The Rhino Recovery Fund (RRF) believes with the right support, most rhino species can turn a corner and recover their populations. The projects we support work to stop the loss of rhinos in Africa and Asia, and to protect and increase all current rhino populations. Our work targets the two biggest threats to the world’s five species of rhino: the illegal rhino horn trade and rampant habitat loss.
