🦏 What happens when rhinos start running out of space?

This World Rhino Day, join us for a special online webinar exploring one of the unexpected challenges of conservation success. After decades of dedicated conservation work, rhino populations are showing promising signs of recovery. But as numbers grow, so does the pressure on the habitats they depend on.

So, what happens when recovering rhino populations begin to run out of room?

On Tuesday 22 September at 6:30pm BST, our CEO Jo Shaw will bring together leading rhino conservation experts from across Africa and Asia to explore:

🌍 Why growing rhino populations are putting increasing pressure on available habitat
🦏 How conservationists are responding to this challenge
🔎 The opportunities and complexities of managing recovering populations
🌱 What this could mean for the future of all five rhino species

Hear from:

• Sam Ferreira, Scientific Officer, African Rhino Specialist Group
• Jamie Gaymer, CEO, Kenya Rhino Range Expansion
• Christy Williams, Chair, Asian Rhino Specialist Group

Join the conversation this World Rhino Day and hear from the experts working to ensure there is room for all five rhino species to thrive.

Black rhinos don’t stay with their mothers forever.

As they grow, they naturally leave to establish territories of their own, finding enough food, water and shelter to survive and, one day, raise calves themselves.

After decades of successful conservation, more young rhinos are reaching this stage of life. But many of Kenya’s protected rhino areas are now close to the number of rhinos the land can support.

Creating new areas where rhinos can thrive is the next step in their recovery.

Building resilience starts with people.

As the last remaining habitat of the Javan rhino, Ujung Kulon National Park carries a vital responsibility for the future of this critically endangered species. Protecting this unique ecosystem requires not only strong conservation strategies, but also resilient people, organisations, and partnerships.

The Park Resilient Plans (PRP) training brought together staff of Ujung Kulon National Park and conservation partners to strengthen the people and organisations behind conservation. The training addressed challenging issues to maintaining integrity, leadership transformation, and improving wellness. Recognising that the resilience of conservation depends on the resilience of those who make it happen.

This initiative is rooted in the recognition that the resilience of conservation depends on the resilience of those who make it happen and made possible through the collaboration of Ujung Kulon National Park, Aliansi Lestari Rimba Terpadu (ALeRT), Save the Rhino International, and Conservation Synergies.

Together, we are strengthening the foundations for a more resilient and impactful Ujung Kulon and a safer future for the Javan rhino.

Behind every thriving rhino population is a dedicated team of people.

Rhino monitors track individual animals and report any concerns. Rangers patrol protected areas. Veterinarians oversee translocations and provide specialist care when needed. Local communities help shape the future of the landscapes they live alongside.

Preparing new areas for rhinos also creates jobs, builds skills and supports sustainable tourism.

As we approach World Rhino Day, we'll be introducing a project that brings all of these elements together to help secure the future of Kenya's black rhinos.

🐾 Every day is International Dog Day around here!

Meet the very good dogs doing some very important work for rhinos 🦏

At Hluhluwe-iMfolozi, Mafu is the tracking expert, following scents through thick bush and across huge distances. Dutch Shepherds Chief and Captain are ready to spring into action once she’s found the trail, while younger dogs Thunzi and Meva are learning the ropes.

They’ve got incredible noses, specialist training and plenty of determination… and we’re guessing a serious appreciation for treats, too 🐕

Every successful rhino translocation begins long before a rhino sets foot in its new home.

Habitats are assessed to ensure there is enough food and water. Fences and security infrastructure are upgraded. Rhino monitors and rangers receive training and equipment to help safeguard the population.

This preparation creates landscapes that are ready to support rhinos for generations to come.

It is a collaborative effort involving conservation organisations, local communities, conservancies and the Kenya Wildlife Service, all working towards the same goal: creating space for healthy, growing rhino populations.
