In Conversation: Insights from the front line
To celebrate WORLD RHINO DAY 2022, we brought together two people from opposite sides of the globe who couldn't be more passionate about protecting these glorious and beleaguered wild animals!
Between 2017 and the end of 2021, global rhino numbers declined by a further 1029 individuals.

The reasons behind these differences have to do with fundamentally different ways of looking at nature and wildlife in these parts of the world. In the end, it all comes down to genuine political will.
