Rhino Membership: A meaningful Christmas gift

Our 2024 Big Give Christmas Appeal raised £84,332 to support Save the Rhino Trust’s (SRT) Mounted Patrol Unit (MPU) in Namibia’s Kunene Region.

Why becoming a Save the Rhino member this Christmas matters

A rhino calf taking its first wobbly steps is a moment worth celebrating. Helping that calf reach adulthood, and one day have young of its own, takes years of work.

Our vision is to see all five rhino species thriving in the wild. As a member, you can help make that future possible by supporting the people and partnerships that rhino conservation depends on.

Rhino conservation that continues year after year

 Protecting rhinos takes lasting commitment. Rangers need equipment and training to carry out their work. Rhino populations need careful monitoring, and preparing new landscapes for rhinos can take years. The people doing this work need support they can depend on all year round.

From just £4.50 a month – cheaper than a cup of coffee – your membership contributes to that continuity. Regular gifts help us plan and sustain our work with partners across Africa and Asia. As each month passes, your support keeps helping us work towards a future in which rhino populations can recover and grow.

How your rhino membership helps protect rhinos

 We connect people and partners with the resources and expertise to conserve rhinos and their landscapes. By becoming a member, you help support work to:

  • Equip field partners to protect rhino populations and the landscapes they need to thrive
  • Disrupt the criminal networks driving the illegal killing of rhinos and trafficking of their horns
  • Help rhino numbers recover through careful management of existing populations and establishing new ones with space to expand

In Kenya, conservation success has brought a new challenge: growing black rhino populations need more space. Through the Kenya Rhino Range Expansion (KRRE) initiative, we are helping prepare new landscapes for rhinos. From assessing habitats to strengthening protection and monitoring, this work starts long before any animals move. It takes sustained support to turn suitable land into landscapes ready for rhinos, where they can raise their young and their populations can continue to grow.

That is the kind of long-term commitment conservation needs. Membership helps sustain our wider work towards these shared goals, supporting a future that stretches well beyond today.

Stay connected to the rhino conservation you support

 As a member, you can follow the conservation you help make possible. Regular email updates bring you news from the field, while our annual magazine, The Horn, shares rhino photographs, stories and reports on the work you support.

These stories offer a chance to get to know the people working for rhinos, understand the challenges they face, and celebrate progress with them. You can see how individual efforts contribute to the bigger ambition of all five species thriving in the wild.

You will also receive a 10% discount on Save the Rhino merchandise and invitations to our events and fundraising opportunities.

Choose your Save the Rhino membership

 Individual membership costs £4.50 a month or £54 a year, with two options to suit you.

Choose a posted welcome pack to receive a silver rhino pin, carved wooden rhino keyring, wristband, embroidered badge, car stickers, an A5 notebook and a shopper bag. Wear your support with pride and spark a conversation about the animals you are helping to protect.

Or choose digital membership, with email updates and a digital copy of The Horn delivered to your inbox. It is an easy way to stay connected wherever you live, with no welcome pack to post.
