Established in 2010 as a response to the escalating rhino crisis in South Africa, StopRhinoPoaching.com is actively involved in the fight against rhino poaching and has a national footprint for strategic funding of security initiatives and ranger support on the frontlines. We encourage collaborative projects with individuals and corporates, channeling their funding and support into tangible projects within selected key rhino areas and reserves. To every person out there who has had the unforgettable experience of encountering a rhino. To each of you out there who has always longed to do so. To anyone who calls themselves a lover of nature, a supporter of conservation, a human being, let's stand together as a nation proud and DO SOMETHING. South Africa's rhinos are in crisis, and we're doing everything we can to help by channeling public support to selected key reserves and rhino protection projects. We're committed for the long haul, and its going to take all of us to win this. Bearing this in mind, intelligence driven operations (knowing who, what, where, when and how) are the cornerstone elements to cracking the syndicates, which is why we’re putting as much available funding into investigations and informant networks as possible while at the same time still focusing on supporting core requirements. Winning the hearts and minds of communities living around rhino reserves is paramount to intelligence gathering and many reserves are working closely with their communities in this regard. Reflecting back over the last few years since StopRhinoPoaching.com’s launch in June/July 2010, to where South Africa is today, noteworthy progress has been made (though we still lack an influential political champion). Mobilising a country is no easy task, let alone getting everyone to pull in the same direction, and the synergy that has been forming among various stakeholders and role-players is encouraging to see. SRP.com will continue to channel funding towards specific projects, putting as much as we can into areas containing larger rhino populations that are managed by DEDICATED and RESPONSIBLE conservation minded rhino owners/custodians. There are many groups doing their best in areas where they can make a difference. Some days are soul destroying, the sheer vastness and cruelty of what we are up against is overwhelming, but no matter how bad it gets we have to keep on trying. A number of strategic focus areas have been identified over the years, which include everything from community awareness and support projects surrounding reserves to demand reduction campaigns in the user countries. Our grateful appreciation to Gerhard, Nadia and Nico for always being there for us. Our website has played an integral part in our success, and we will always be indebted to you for your contribution to the rhino cause.
