By 2026, rhinos could be extinct in the wild. Poaching for their horns is the biggest threat to the rhino¹s survival, with the number of rhinos killed increasing 7,600% since 2007. Wildlife trafficking (the third-largest illegal trade after drugs and arms) destroys wildlife, threatens global security and affects employment of poorer local communities. Save the Rhino International (SRI) is a small charity that works to protect all five rhino species in Africa and Asia, and support the communities that share their habitat. By funding anti-poaching and monitoring patrols, environmental education, community conservation, and demand-reduction activities, SRI¹s goal is to deliver long-lasting and widespread benefits to rhinos, ecosystems and local communities. Rhinos need your help today. Text SAVE18 £3 to 70070 to donate £3, or visit www.savetherhino.org.
