Crowd funding sought to save the rhinos

Tuesday, 05 Aug, 2014 0

Great Plains Conservation has launched a crowd-funding campaign to raise funds to move 100 rhino from South Africa to Botswana.

Great Plains has joined forces with &Beyond to translocate the rhinos from areas in South Africa where they are at the mercy of poachers.

It will cost about US$45 000 to move each rhino so Great Plains has sought the help of Trevolta, a crowd funding group that raises sponsorship money for people who want to travel for a cause but can’t afford it.

"Well we have some rhinos who want to travel for a cause too (their safety) but have a different ‘currency’ to what we need, so the Trevolta team embraced it," Dereck and Beverly Joubert, CEO and co-founders of Great Plains Conservation said in a statement.

"The great thing about Trevolta is that you can donate as little as $1 or as much as you like. There’s rewards for donations, but the real reward is an emotional one: saving rhinos."
