International #WomensDay is being celebrated around the world today. We’re honored to work with some amazing women conservationists. Your courage and determination inspires us every day! #TeamRhino #IWD2024 #InspireInclusion .

Happy #WWD2024 ! Of course our favorite wild animals are the 5 rhino species but did you know that rhinos are an umbrella species? This means that by conserving and protecting rhinos, we are also helping to protect countless other wildlife that share their habitat.

'The decrease seen in Kruger's poaching numbers is commendable, but to see that progress canceled out elsewhere in South Africa is devastating' - Nina Fascione, Executive Director, IRF

A sobering statistic out of South Africa today as they report an increase in rhino poaching. Almost 500 rhinos were killed for their horn in 2023, more than 60% of those in just one state park. buff.ly/3wG2sVh

The translocation of 21 eastern black rhinos to a region where they have been extinct for 50 years has been a success. Here’s how these critically endangered creatures were caught, transported and released at their new home. The Guardian nature.ly/3UF4FdC

Glad that Kaziranga NP officials and Golaghat Police could nab a rhino poacher, and recovered the horn. A rhino was killed in the eastern range of Kaziranga a few days ago. Congratulations Golaghat Police Kaziranga National Park & Tiger Reserve GP Singh Assam Forest Department Chandra Mohan Patowary (Modi Ka Parivar) m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

IRF is saddened to learn of a 2nd poaching incident in Kaziranga and offers the park our condolences. Thankfully the forest & police dept's swift actions have already led to the arrest of the main suspect, recovery of the weapon & one of the horns. eastmojo.com/news/2024/01/2…

Our condolences to Ol Pejeta on the loss of one of their southern white rhino surrogates. Still, this is the most progress made to date using IVF in rhinos. Assisted reproductive technology is an important tool in the rhino conservation toolbox.

Have you ever seen a red rhino? Rhinos wallow in the mud to keep their body temperature regulated and protect themselves against biting insects.
