3 rhinos are shot every day in South Africa! We run extensive projects for the survival of rhinos in southern Africa. Among other things, specialist training is funded for park rangers, police and prosecutors to counter poaching. We assist staff and park rangers with special equipment and install surveillance cameras. In addition, we fund veterinary efforts needed to save rhinos that have survived poachers' attacks.

When a rhinoceros mother is shot and her calves are left behind - the calves can spend long periods with the mother's carcasses before being rescued. When we rescue the orphaned rhino calves, urgent care is therefore required to ensure their survival.

The younger rhino calves need intensive care and need to be fed every two hours with a milk formula.

As they get older, the care becomes less intensive, but they require regular care for up to 5 years before they can be released and survive independently in the wild.

The cost for nursing & care of a rhino calf for 6 months, which includes milk formula, food, dehorning and veterinary costs, is SEK 4,000.

The rhinos are seriously endangered. In South Africa alone, three rhinos are shot every day. To save the species, great efforts are needed to preserve and protect the individuals that remain.

* Thank you for helping us take care of the rhino calves! *

Help Fury catch poachers!

55 elephants and 3 rhinos are killed every day. We are working to combat poaching of Africa's iconic animals and stop the illegal trade in animals. We do this with the help of park rangers, new technology and advocacy work - but also with the help of our fantastic dogs ! Fury, as you see in the picture, and his friends protect Africa's animal species such as elephants and rhinos out in the field. They do this by helping to catch the poachers. Since poachers like to hide in thick, tall grass, it is difficult for park rangers to find them, especially at night. But thanks to Fury and other tracking dogs' fantastic sense of smell and fast paws, poachers are tracked down much faster. Dogs have proven to be one of the most effective power amplifiers for catching poachers. Fury is a real hero who has helped many animals in southern Africa! Help us raise money for food and vet expenses for Fury and his dog friends - so they can continue their work in the field by catching poachers!

Stop the poaching with a "camera trap"!

Join in and collect for a camera trap that is used to stop poaching. A camera trap performs 24-hour surveillance and is strategically placed at a risk area for poaching. The camera integrates with Microsoft Artificial Intelligence software and converts into intelligent devices. If the camera captures a person or vehicle in the picture, a warning is sent to the park rangers who are working to stop the poaching in the area. * Having a camera trap in the area reduces poaching in the area. The cost of a camera trap is SEK 4,000. * In southern Africa, many animal species belong that are hardly found anywhere else, such as our most iconic animal species such as elephant, lion, giraffe and rhino. The fact that so many animals are unique also makes them economically valuable on the world market. Extensive poaching is a serious and global problem, and also one of the largest criminal activities in the world. Elephants and rhinos are poached every day for their horns and pastures. Even felines such as leopards and lions are poached for their skin or various body parts. We work to stop poaching through new technology, training of park rangers, police and prosecutors. We conduct advocacy work in Asia, where trade has increased sharply in recent years. Thank you for helping us stop the poaching !

Help us create a clean marine environment for the sea turtle & other marine animals.

Help us create a clean and untouched nature for marine life in the Ponta Do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve. The Ponta do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve - in the cross-border nature reserve (Peace Park) Lubombo - has a rich variety of marine life. Here come endangered sea leatherback turtles and fake carp turtles to lay their eggs on the beach. In addition to protecting the endangered sea turtles from poaching and predators, the Peace Parks Foundation supports projects aimed at preserving a pristine nature where sea turtles and other marine species can thrive. Among other things, we make efforts together with Dolphin Encountours, local authorities, conservation organizations, the local community and tourism operators who regularly gather to clean and clear the beaches. As a result, lots of plastic is removed from the beaches every year. Peace Parks also works with a waste management plan that aims both to remove rubbish from nature but also to create business opportunities for the local community. * Thank you for helping to save the sea and wildlife of the Ponta Do Ouro Partial Marine Reserve. *
