STS - Saving the Survivors Saving the Survivors was founded by Dr. Johan Marais in 2012 to treat and care for Rhino that had fallen victim to poaching or traumatic incidents.

Saving the Survivors aim is to treat and care for Rhino, Elephant, Lion and other endangered wildlife that have fallen victim to poaching or traumatic incidents as well as delivering other proactive conservation initiatives. This included Rhino that have been wounded, Rhino where the horn has been hacked off, as well as victims of snaring and other trauma. Whilst we are best known for our emergency work with Rhino, we also treat any other endangered species in need. The Saving the Survivors team regularly works with Lion, Leopard, African Wild Dog, Sable and Roan antelope and Elephant, to name but a few. In addition to this, we manage and deliver many proactive initiatives such as community and breeding programs, also human wildlife conflict mitigation and wildlife translocation. Most of these animals are being treated in the bush in their natural environment, as transporting them is not always possible, and it is often extremely stressful. We work throughout Southern Africa, but we also offer assistance to endangered species worldwide.

Remembering Jaco Muller 🖤🦏

It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Jaco Muller, founder of the Rhino Momma Project and a director of Saving the Survivors Namibia, who died on Saturday.

Jaco was a giant in rhino conservation, dedicating himself to protecting these extraordinary animals and securing their future. Through Rhino Momma, he helped turn a passion for rhinos into practical action: breeding, raising and protecting them, with a vision of rebuilding populations in Namibia and across Africa so that future generations could know them too.

For all of us at Saving the Survivors, his loss is deeply personal. Jaco was part of our team and shared our determination to give threatened wildlife a chance. His passing leaves an enormous gap in the conservation community, and he will be sorely missed.

Above all, Jaco was a beloved husband and father. Our hearts are with his wife, Cher, his daughter, Paige, and his son, Tristan. We send our deepest condolences to them, his family, friends, and everyone at Rhino Momma during this heartbreaking time.

His legacy will live on in the rhinos he helped protect, the people who carry his vision forward, and the work he started.

Rest peacefully, Jaco. Thank you for everything you gave to rhino conservation. 🖤
