Make a stand for rhinos

Monday 22 September

As a persecuted species, with only around 10,000 Southern White Rhinos and 3,000 Black Rhinos thought to exist in the wild, World Rhino Day is observed to raise awareness of their plight.

Monarto Safari Park is proud to care for a Black Rhino and is currently one of only two zoos in Australia to house this species, alongside five Southern White Rhinos

The race to save rhinos from extinction

The heartbreaking reality is one rhino is killed every six hours.

Rhinos are threatened with extinction due to excessive poaching with their horn traded on the black market. Alleged to have potent powers, the horn is in fact made of keratin and is no different to chewing on fingernails. Such senseless killing is wiping the planet of this species.

We support rhinos in Africa through work with The African Ranger Association, Kruger National Park Honorary Rangers and Sera Conservancy in Kenya.

In this time, Black Rhinos have been reintroduced back into Sera after being poached to extinction.
