Ep. 49: The War on Rhinos

This week we're talking about all things Rhino, including rhinos attacking people and people attacking rhinos.

We cannot talk about rhinos without talking about the incredible people who risk and sometimes give their lives in the name of rhino conservation, especially Anton Mzimba. You can learn more about the documentary he stars in, Rhino Man, here.

We highly encourage you to follow @TheBlackMambas (the world's first all-women anti-poaching initiative) on Instagram and @olpejeta (Ol Pejeta Conservancy) on Instagram to learn more about and stay involved in conservation efforts.

What can you do to support rhinos?

• Don’t support illegal trade - Don’t purchase anything made from rhino horn
• Consider supporting conservation organizations and programs 
• Use and support sustainable wood, paper and palm oil. By purchasing certified sustainable palm oil and FSC-certified forest products, retailers and manufacturers help protect Sumatran and Javan rhino habitat by limiting illegal logging and forest conversion. Consumers can help by demanding certified products
• Spread the word about rhino conservation!
