Saving HiPs rhinos

The rhino population in Hluhluwe iMfolozi (HiP) is facing intense poaching pressure. In 2023, 61% of all rhinos poached in South Africa were from HiP. Since then, HiP undertakes an annual maintenance horn trimming program on its rhino population as part of Ezemvelo's Rhino Guardianship Strategy. Due to severe government underfunding, WWW has co-funded 2024 and 2025's operations and is committing to continue this annually.

Donate today to become part of this crucial conservation operation! Depending on your chosen donation amount, donors will receive personalised operation progress reports, live updates and video calls with the ground teams.

In the mid-1900s, Operation Rhino used Africa’s only remaining 50 white rhino from HiP as seed population for Zimbabwe, Namibia, Botswana and Kenya. Today, all significant, wild white rhino populations are descendant from HiP.
