Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) works to protect Namibia’s unique desert-adapted black rhinos through community-based conservation approaches. Operating in the harsh Kunene region, they combine rigorous monitoring with community engagement to ensure the survival of this iconic species.

The organization implements comprehensive programs including: rhino monitoring and protection; community game guard support; environmental education; and sustainable tourism development. Their approach emphasizes building local capacity for conservation while ensuring communities benefit from wildlife protection.

Over decades of operation, SRT has helped maintain one of Africa’s most important free-ranging black rhino populations while building strong community support for conservation. Their work has demonstrated how focused species protection can drive broader landscape conservation and community development.
