Rhino Ark

Rhino Ark

Rhino Ark is a charity based in Kenya and the UK with a mission to raise funds and material support to build an electrified fence encircling both the Aberdares National Park and the demarcated forestry areas which make up the Aberdares Conservation Area. The purpose is to prevent any illegal exploitation of the forest habitat and promote the sustainable use of forest products for the benefit of both present and future generations.

Rhino Charge is an annual, 4x4, cross-country event held in Kenya to raise funds for Rhino Ark. A similar, if somewhat tamer event is held in the UK.
