Working with rhinos is a truly enlightening experience, offering the once in a lifetime opportunity of witnessing incredible wildlife as well as learning why these animals are in need of help. Most importantly, volunteering allows you to make a lasting impact on rhino conservation.
Rhinos are in dire need of volunteers to help provide them with a sustainable future, safe from poaching and habitat loss which pose the biggest threats to them. With The Great Projects, we offer you the chance to work with rhinos on a range of different conservation projects in a variety of stunning locations in the African bush from Zululand to South Africa!
The price of a rhino horn falls around $100,000 per kilogram on the black market, and this led to more than 1000 rhinos being slaughtered in South Africa in 2017 alone. This is an inexcusable trade that must be stopped, and by dedicating your time to work with rhinos you will play an active role in this cause.
What many people do not realise, is that rhinos are an umbrella species within their ecosystem. Their survival or demise has a knock-on effect on other species in their habitat, from birds to a variety of different mammals.

All five species of rhino are classed as critically endangered. The tiny population of Javan rhinos – standing at around 58-61 individuals - makes it the rarest large land animal on Earth.
There are approximately 100 Sumatran rhinos remaining, and the Greater One-Horned rhino has a population of around 3,300 individuals. The more commonly known White rhino has a population of around 21,077 and the Black rhino is estimated to have around 5,455 individuals remaining.
Of course, the death of the last male Northern White rhino, Sudan early in 2018 marked a tragic day in the conservation world and back in 2011, we saw the complete extinction of the Western Black rhino.
While rhinos are very large and very strong, they are extremely vulnerable to human interference. Some of the threats rhinos face from humans are:
