Damaraland
Damaraland is a remote and rugged area of communal land in Namibia with no National Park status where SRT works tirelessly alongside local communities to patrol and protect the last surviving, free-roaming black Rhino population on earth today. It is a very challenging time for conservation because budgets are hugely compromised due to cancelled fundraising events and a lack of tourism.
The money we raise this year will help with the building of the field camps for the guys patrolling and protecting the rhinos. Save The Rhino Trust Rhino trackers go with Cominity Rhino rangers, they are in teams of 3 to 4 and each Rhino patrol lasts about 3 weeks, they walk an average of 30 to 40 km per day and at night come back to the safety of the field camps which are closed off at night to protect them from Lions and other preditors. The field camps are being upgraded with shower facilities toilets and shaded areas for the guys, kitchen and tented areas they will often break up the three weeks in different areas staying in different camps, we hope to raise as much as we can to keep the guys as comfortable and safe as possible whilst they keep the rhinos monitored and safe in this harsh desert invironment
Mucky Weekender & GIVE
We are so looking forward to having The RhinoSolstice Party tent back at Mucky weekender Festival this September for our 3rd year running and getting the much loved rhino amongst the people again (kindly loaned from Save The Rhino who our money is sent to the field through).
Thank you so much to Barry and Ilona for all your continued support for the rhinos and everyones kind donations, last year was challenging with the weather conditions and all the mud, yet we had the best Mucky Weekender to date and everyone was so kind and supportive, really looking forward to our first year at Give festival in July, thank you Ben the Bee, look forward to seeing everyone - and do come visit us at our rhino tent and learn more about the precious rhinos of the world and the amazing work of Save the Rhino International and Save The Rhino Trust
