🦏 WORLD RHINO DAY 2026

As the current custodians of our natural heritage, we share a responsibility to ensure that rhino continue to roam wild.

That takes people, partnerships, technology and constant vigilance.

World Rhino Day celebrates all five rhino species. For Chipembere Rhino Foundation (CRF), it is also a reminder that awareness must lead to action—on the ground, where it counts.

CRF’s story began with the devastating loss of Chippy and Isipho in 2010. When Geza was poached the following year, it deepened a commitment to protect and preserve Southern Africa’s remaining rhino.

Today, our work includes sourcing, testing and funding rhino monitoring technology; supporting trained K9 teams and their handlers; equipping and training anti-poaching units; assisting with safe rhino translocations; and working alongside rhino custodians and conservation partners.

Every tracking collar fitted, camera trap placed, ranger equipped and K9 team supported adds another layer of protection.

Following an unforgettable Kenton Rhino Rising, this World Rhino Day carries special meaning. Once again, we have seen what is possible when conservationists, communities, businesses and supporters stand together.

To everyone who joined us, supported us, donated or helped share our message: thank you. You help turn awareness into action and funding into real protection.

Today, we celebrate every rhino still roaming wild—and the dedicated people working to keep them there.

Every rhino matters—and together, we can continue saving rhino, one at a time.

🌿 Happy Women's Day, South Africa 🇿🇦

This beautiful female black rhino is a fitting presence on a day that celebrates women and the many forms strength can take.

Today, we honour women everywhere—those who lead, protect, nurture, inspire and persevere, in conservation and throughout our communities.

Strength is not always loud. Sometimes it is quiet, steady and unwavering.

To every woman helping to shape a better future: we see you, we thank you and today, we celebrate you. 💛

Today, we honour rangers at the heart of rhino protection.

Their skill, courage and constant vigilance form part of a much bigger protection network—one in which people, technology, equipment, aerial support and partnerships must work together.

No single component can protect a rhino.

Together, they can change the odds. 🦏💚

Every rhino protected is the result of an extraordinary team effort. 🦏💚

This beautifully crafted short conservation film offers a rare glimpse into one of those extraordinary moments—a rhino receiving a GPS tracking collar, an essential conservation tool that helps monitor movements, strengthen protection efforts, and support the long-term conservation of South Africa's rhinos.

At Chipembere Rhino Foundation, we know that meaningful rhino conservation is only possible through collaboration. Every successful conservation operation depends on dedicated conservation partners, veterinarians, pilots, rangers and supporters working together towards one shared purpose.

We are incredibly grateful to our many supporters who make our work possible. A special thank you to Mastertons Coffee & Tea Specialists, The Kenton Rhino Run and Michael Carnegie for their continued commitment to rhino conservation over many years. We also extend our sincere thanks to Periwinkle Trust, whose generous support is already helping us make a meaningful difference on the ground.

A special thank you to Coexistwithmeg of Zuali Creative for beautifully bringing this conservation story to life. Your storytelling helps people understand the dedication, teamwork and commitment behind every successful conservation operation.

🦏 This week saw a significant development in what South African authorities have described as the world's largest rhino horn trafficking investigation.

Following investigations that began in 2007, Dawie Groenewald and Tielman Erasmus were sentenced after pleading guilty to charges linked to illegal rhino hunting, dehorning, racketeering and money laundering. The case involved more than 1,700 charges and exposed the scale and sophistication of criminal networks threatening rhinos across Africa.

According to reports, Groenewald was fined R2 million or faced four years' imprisonment, together with additional suspended sentences and conditions, while Erasmus was fined R100,000 or faced three years' imprisonment.

For those working to protect rhinos, it is a reminder that conservation is about far more than safeguarding animals. It requires intelligence gathering, law enforcement, dedicated field teams, technology, strong partnerships and long-term commitment.

Every rhino protected is the result of countless people working together behind the scenes.

The fight against wildlife crime continues. 🦏💚

Protection and wildness, side by side.
