Leave Only Your Footprints

All our programmes are designed with the locals in mind first and foremost, and then volunteers and interns come to fit into the local setup, which ensures that the programmes will continue beyond the stay of external partners and volunteers. The programmes and experiences are also designed to ensure our core value of knowledge exchange takes place seamlessly.
We denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who we are to beguiled demoralized by the charms of pleasures that moment, so we blinded desires, that they indignation.

BE PART OF THE CONSERVATION REVOLUTION AND FIGHT THE ILLEGAL POACHING OF RHINOS

The rhino is our second largest mammal after the elephant, with a mass ranging from 800 kg to 2,300 kgs and a height of 1.3 m – 1.9 m.  It’s a magnificent animal that is facing the danger of getting wiped from the face of the earth if you and I don’t do something about it. 

Lack of finance, in-person, in-kind support and updated equipment has greatly affected the conservation efforts. The only time for you to make a difference and help save this treasure is now and not tomorrow. One day we’ll wake up without any rhinos because what happened to dinosaurs is slowly happening to rhinos in our lifetime. Determined rangers, vets, researchers and volunteers have been doing great work over the years and saving the rhinos from injuries resulting from poaching attempts. Some have lost their lives in the line of duty. That’s just how serious the fight for the rhino has become! Can we count on you?

Rhinos are prehistoric animals and our African symbol. We have to protect our national heritage for future generations at all costs. We have to take action and help save the lives of the rhinos from poachers. One of the biggest challenges being faced in saving the rhino is lack of support from the people because of lack of information on the importance of the conservation programmes. We all need to participate in these conservation programmes so that we raise more awareness and understanding of the gravity of the situation. If the next generation is to enjoy wildlife, then the time to join hands and fight the poachers is now.

Another challenge being faced when trying to protect the rhino is lack of funds for the projects to be successful. Anti-poaching programmes need a lot of money as it is very costly to protect the rhinos from the dangerous poachers. Rhinos can only survive in national parks and protected areas, which need to be fully maintained and guarded 24/7. Rhinos do not have any predators apart from humans, meaning they can live for about 60 years. We should put maximum effort in supporting the efforts of the conservancies put in place by NGOs and National Parks to ensure their survival from poachers. Helping the NGOs and National Parks meet their budgets will go a long way in helping the underfunded conservation programmes. You can help by helping with fundraising efforts such as yard sales, car wash, crowdfunding, donating your birthday among others. 

Protecting the rhinos is a challenge as it costs real energy and money. With determination and enough funds new conservancy initiatives like rhino breeding programmes and good, secure sanctuaries can be built for the endangered species.  

At Tiritose Sustainable Travel, we are proud to support conservation initiatives and help protect the ecosystem. We are very passionate about doing all we can to save the extinct species. We have programmes open for volunteers and students who share the views with us in helping preserve the rhino. We give 75% of the fees we receive from volunteers directly to conservancies within our network. Tiritose Sustainable Travel has specifically designed programmes such as the wildlife environmental conservation game park management, which brings in students and volunteers to work with rhinos as well as surrounding communities to increase conservation awareness. These continuous conservation efforts have been helping to protect the rhinos over the years. With the help of other students and volunteers we have been helping to minimise the problems faced during the conservation programmes and using a community based. 

Lack of information about the rhinos has affected their existence in local communities. A few people have been working tirelessly to protect the rhinos with very minimal support. If you take time to know and study the advantages of rhino conservation, you will definitely fall in love with this big mammal and help protect it. Be part of the conservation revolution and say “NO” to the illegal killing of rhinos. Join our wildlife environmental conservation game park management ​  programme with your friends and help save our endangered friend.
