Background on the Skydive for Rhinos Initiative
The Skydive for Rhinos initiative began in KwaZulu-Natal last year, with 40 first-time skydivers raising R500,000 for rhino protection in the province. It helped to create Project Rhino KZN, an association of 16 leading conservation organisations that has brought together private game reserves and rhino owners, well-known conservation NGOs, Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, rhino experts and anti-poaching specialists who are working together to counteract rhino poachin
g in KwaZulu-Natal. World renowned rhino conservationist Dr Ian Player is one of the founding members.
100% of funds raised will be used to improve rhino protection and anti-poaching efforts in hard-hit regions throughout South Africa. Key anti-poaching needs that will benefit include training anti-poaching teams in a full complement of advanced skills, provision of specialised equipment for rhino security teams and extending aerial surveillance support to a wider range of rhino-bearing reserves. Interventions that include education, awareness and job creation in rural communities close to game reserves are also seen as a major imperative.
