About Saving Rhinos

Rhishja: Saving Rhinos

One woman's decision to make a difference.

The beginning of Saving Rhinos: The Javan Rhino

The alarming numbers of the Javan Rhino inspired me to launch Saving Rhinos in December 2007.

Saving Rhinos: Our Founder

Rhishja Larson
Saving Rhinos is the public awareness program launched by Rhishja Larson - the result of a lifelong fascination (some would call it an obsession) with the rhinoceros.

Rhishja has written for Green Options Media, focusing on endangered species protection and illegal wildlife trade. Her articles have been referenced and included in both print and online publications, such as Science News (Asian vultures), National Wind Watch (California condors), WildAid (elephant poaching), Bush Warriors (rhino poaching), The Rhino Print (Asian Rhino Project), International Zoo News (Javan rhino), and The Zimbabwean (rhino poaching).

Our Vision

The vision of Saving Rhinos is to raise public awareness about the illegal rhino horn trade - to create a worldwide grassroots movement to stop the rhino horn trade - and end the slaughter of rhinos.

Education matters!

Check out the Saving Rhinos Learning Zone - created especially for teachers and students who wish to bring rhinos into the classroom. By increasing awareness, sharing knowledge, and inspiring others, we can work together to help save rhinos from extinction.

Rhinos in the classroom: Learn more about Partnership for Rhino Conservation (PARC/Nepal), an education-driven community organization helping Greater One-Horned Rhinos in the Chitwan area of Nepal.

Proceeds from shirt and merchandise sales are contributed to rhino conservation projects such as PARC/Nepal.
