The African Black Rhino isn't always the sexiest of the great savanna species. It really doesn't feature in the 'Lion King", but the efforts to save the last of these iconic animals are intensely provocative and personal. In a world where rhino horn per ounce, is worth more than gold, what future do these animals have??
Join us for an early evening of conservation as practiced in Kenya, and learn how we combine the 4 Cs = conservation, commerce, community, culture in a successful effort to protect the continent's endangered species.
And what can we do from Vermont! Come help make Vermont the 11th state to stop illegal wildlife trafficking and help stop this mass extinction that is occurring.
