The Australian Rhino Project Update
The Australian Rhino Project has made the decision to change our approach to supporting rhinos.
Why? Because the landscape for rhino conservation has changed. South Africa’s proposed restrictions on rhino exports outside of African range states and ongoing policy uncertainty mean that continuing with our original mission is no longer viable in the foreseeable future.
But our commitment to rhinos hasn’t changed — it has evolved.
The Request for Proposal (RFP) process was launched in February 2026 to ensure that our raised funds are invested where they can have the most impact: rhino conservation projects, anti-poaching initiatives, habitat restoration, and community programs that give rhinos an immediate future. Relevant organisations are currently submitting their RFP documents, and further updates will be provided by mid-year into the next stage of the process.
Details of our announcement can be found HERE.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we will continue to fight for the survival of rhinos.

If we do not act now, rhinos may be extinct in the wild in less than 10 years.
