The students in ABEC404, wildlife ecology and conservation in Africa, are raising funds to support rhino conservation.
Look for the “Recycle for Rhinos” cans around campus (starting around October 18), and put your deposit bottles and cans there. Funds will go to support an amazing person we met while in South Africa, who uses a Bathawk ultra-light to fly over private lands to survey rhino populations and look for poachers. Only $20 funds one hour of time in the air. It is estimated that three rhinos are killed every day for their horns, which are prized in some countries. Rhino numbers are plummeting; we hope this small contribution will help. If you have questions or wish to make a direct monetary donation, please contact Sue Margulis.
