More than 7,250 rhinos have been killed by poachers over the past ten years. As a result, many rhino species remain under serious threat.
Since 2016, Starkraft has provided project-based support to selected non-profit organizations and conservation initiatives in South Africa that work to protect rhinos. The examples below illustrate some of the projects that were supported at various points in the past.
- Night-vision equipment and metal detectors for anti-poaching units
- Motorbikes for rangers
- Feed for rhino rescue centers and conservation areas
- Treatments that make rhino horns less attractive to poachers
- Ear tags to improve the identification and tracking of rhinos
