The students in the core capstone ABEC404 (Wildlife Ecology and Conservation in Africa) collected more than 2,000 cans and bottles during their “recycle for rhinos” effort.
The funds, along with a few donations, will go towards supporting rhino conservation efforts in South Africa by funding fly-overs in ultralight aircraft to spot poachers and monitor rhino populations.
Thank you to everyone who supported this effort, especially the big soda-consumers out there (you know who you are…).
