Hello,

My name is Aimee and i am University student at Capel Manor, UK.
As part of my University Degree in Animal management and zoology, i am going to be volunteering at a African Rhino sanctuary in South Africa.

I am very passionate about animal welfare and in particular the conservation of endangered African wildlife. I will finally have the opportunity to make a difference in the field by spending a month in Africa to volunteer and undertake hands on experience with Rhinos in need. My experince at the Sanctuary with include treating injured animals to bottle-feeding orphaned calves and working hands-on in Africa’s fight to save the rhino.

This life changing oportunity will have a massive impact towards my education and more importantly my future in rescue and conservation, by allowing me to gain hands on experience and begin making a difference for a worthy cause. 

Thank you for taking the time to read about my campaign.
Any donation is much appreciated.

Aimee :)

    The importance of Rhino conservation
    'Between 1960 and 1995, black rhino numbers dropped by 98%, to less than 2,500. Since then, the species has made a tremendous comeback from the brink of extinction. Thanks to persistent conservation efforts across Africa. The black rhino numbers have doubled from their historic low 20 years ago to between 5,042 and 5,455 today. However, the black rhino is still considered critically endangered, and a lot of work remains to bring the numbers up to even a fraction of what it once was'
