IRF is based in the United States and operates on-the-ground programs in Africa and Asia where rhinos live in the wild, supporting viable populations of the five remaining rhino species and the communities that coexist with them.
Through grants and field programs, IRF has funded rhino conservation efforts in 10 countries, focusing on scientific research, anti-poaching, habitat conservation, captive breeding, environmental education, and demand reduction. Over the last decade more than $20 million has been invested in rhino conservation.
Founded in response to intense poaching of Zimbabwe’s black rhinos in the early 1990’s, IRF and supporters like you helped to virtually eliminate the threat and stabilize the population. To this day, we support conservation programs in Zimbabwe and have grown to support all five species of rhinos.

Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre’s mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, and release injured, orphaned, and poisoned wildlife while creating awareness of the urgent challenges facing conservation today. They provide a safe haven for animals that cannot be returned to the wild, using them as ambassadors to educate the public about the threats to their species. Through research initiatives, such as tracking leopards and vultures, and successful breeding programs for endangered species like Servals, they actively contribute to preserving South Africa’s biodiversity. By fostering harmony between humans and wildlife, they aim to inspire global action for a sustainable and thriving natural environment.

Save The Giraffes is founded with the mission to guarantee that giraffes are protected and preserved in their natural habitat.  To find success, we know connecting and supporting projects, research and other organizations with the same missions and goals will expand our reach at a more rapid pace than trying forging the road on our own.  We also realize that there are many facets to nurturing an organization to combat the increasing conservation needs of a species that is fighting a shrinking population with limited knowledge of their demise.  Another goal of Save The Giraffes is to increase the volume of the need to help halt the current trajectory toward a silent extinction.  STG supports projects focused on; physiology and anatomy, behavior, adaptations, tracking innovations and anti-poaching.  Importantly, fostering the aspirations into the next generation to focus on continuing to push the current work forward through education projects.  

Vultures face a number of threats, including but not limited to direct and indirect poisoning, habitat loss and fragmentation, habitat degradation, electrocution and collisions with power lines and other infrastructure (wind turbines), as well as reduced availability of natural food sources and direct persecution as well as the illegal harvesting and trade of vultures for belief-based purposes.
Some vulture species are threatened with extinction within our lifetime and unless we can halt these declines and mitigate and stop these persistent threats, the consequences of losing our vultures will be catastrophic and far reaching.
