Therefore we decided to start a Rhino awareness program.
As this program is new we are still working on this website.
"Soon this world will be without the Big Five! Therefore we decided to start a Rhino Awareness program."
We want to hire teachers who will teach regularly about Rhinos and the Big Five. These teachers will visit the schools in the vicinity of protection areas. The teacher will teach every day in a different school.
We want the take individual classes sponsorship for the individual Rhinos. The children will visit regularly the protected areas as part of the project.
The school Childres will be able to choose names for each new born Rhino. This will create an emotional connection. The Open Day is intended to be a key experience.
We would like to introduce a voluntary Awareness tax. This tax should be clearly seen in the tour price for customers. We, as operators of hotels, lodges or safari company will pay a certain amount too. This money will be used as an extra payment for the Rangers, to be paid in addition to their income, to show the Rangers, it's worth to protect the animals and curb corruption.
We want to promote the development of technical possibilities to track down the poachers before they kill the animals. For instance drones and satellite monitoring would be the best option since the Rangers usually find the animals long after they have been attacjed and dead.
We want to motivate international tour operators to donate a certain amount of eacht sold safari. The tour operator can use this action as an advertisment medium. He should motivate as much people as possible to travel to Kenya. Only if we welcome as many people as possible to travel to Africa and see the Big Five we will get enough funds to involve the local people and make them responsible for the welfare of Rhinos and the other Big Five.
