Rhino Conservation and Research

In response to the global crisis in rhino conservation, the International Rhino Foundation protects particularly threatened rhino populations in the wild, while also supporting management of and research on captive populations to improve the chances for long-term survival of all rhino species. We have already made great strides in preventing further declines of these magnificent animals and turning rhino population trends around in the areas in which we work.

IRF operates in situ (in nature) programs in Asia and Africa targeted to the rhino species most in need of and most appropriate for intensive protection and management. In our ex situ (in captivity) programs, IRF facilitates management and sponsors research with the ultimate objective of helping captive populations  become truly viable and hence an integral part of conservation strategies for rhinos.
