Nominations are now open for the 2021 Rhino Conservation Awards to recognise a wide range of exceptional individuals and organisations and raising awareness of the amazing work they do.
The Rhino Conservation Awards have broadened their focus from rhino conservation to endangered species conservation. The primary objective of the awards is to give recognition to the leading role players in endangered species conservation and in doing so raise awareness of their amazing work.
Who can nominate?
Often facing physical danger, political opposition and severe financial constraints, this selfless group of conservationists continue to work to save Africa’s natural heritage. The awards serve to motivate these dedicated men and women to keep fighting to ensure the survival of our endangered species for the benefit of this and future generations.
