Adopt a Rhino

Adopt a Rhino

Rhinos are one of the world’s most endangered species. Of the five variations, three types of rhinos are critically endangered, including the Black Rhinoceros.

Of the two less endangered species there are still less than 2,700 Indian Rhinos and 17,500 White Rhinos left in the wild.

By purchasing a rhino adoption gift pack you’ll be helping WWF protect the world’s remaining rhinos:

- Just £60 pays for one immobilisation dart, enabling a rhino to be transported to a new viable habitat.
- £120 pays for the training of an entire field office in anti-poaching and rhino conservation measures in Nepal.
