Nearly all money raised will further field conservation actions where rhinos are most threatened. We stimulate support for rhino conservation across North America by initiating educational initiatives that highlight the importance of conserving rhino and other endangered species. We work with local communities where rhino live to emphasize the benefits that can be derived from a sustainable co-existence between man and wildlife.

Our Objectives are: Break the vicious circle of environmental degradation and rural poverty in 90% of the communities where we work, achieving within three consecutive years that more than 60% of the population change the management of their natural resources for one that generates the recovery of such resources and prosperity. Get 60% of the families of each community to obtain: - Dignified and healthy homes, with food security. - Productive activities that in the short term generate income, almost constant during the year, above the level of the country's minimum wage. - Raise the self-esteem of the farmers with an optimistic vision of their future. - The plantation of 1,000 forest trees per family per year, with a percentage of tree life higher than 80% that will provide them with long-term income.
