How your adoption will help rhinos

Greater one-horned rhinos are under threat. 

Wild populations continue to rapidly decline due to being heavily poached for their horns. With your help, we believe our conservation research can influence the sustainability of endangered species and inspire others to join us in our challenge to protect our planet’s biodiversity.

Together we can help save this magnificent species from extinction.
