Rhino Art - Let Our Children's Voices Be Heard
To inspire, educate and empower young people through creativity, sport and interactive conservation workshops, nurturing a new generation of wildlife ambassadors who are passionate about protecting rhinos and other endangered species.
Creative conservation education with global reach
Launched in 2013 in partnership with the Kingsley Holgate Foundation, the Rhino Art initiative uses the universal language of art, recreation and theatre to raise awareness about conservation among young people. At each school activation, learners are encouraged to express their voices and hopes for wildlife protection through art and storytelling.
Expert facilitators lead interactive sessions that blend conservation education with role-play theatre, highlighting the value of the Wild Economy and the devastating effects of poaching. A typical Rhino Art event transforms a school into a vibrant hub of creativity, reaching an average of 500 learners and their teachers. In poaching hotspot communities, these engagements are often repeated annually or bi-annually so the conservation message is continually reinforced.
Beyond schools, community soccer tournaments are hosted to bring people together, encourage positive dialogue and reward learners for their creativity. Since launch, Rhino Art has reached over one million young people across 24 countries and five continents, building a powerful youth-driven movement for wildlife protection.
