About us
The Australian Rhino Project is a conservation organisation which is committed to working as part of the collective international fight to protect African rhinoceros from extinction. The Australian Rhino Project, together with Royal Zoological Society of South Australia, Orana Wildlife Park and Taronga Conservation Society Australia, are currently working to expand the population of white rhinos in Australia and New Zealand to maintain a genetically diverse breeding crash that can act as an insurance population should the rhino become extinct in its African homeland. Insurance populations have been utilised as a conservation strategy when species are under threat of extinction from human activity, habitat loss, disease or other causes. Well known conservationist Ian Player established breeding colonies of White Rhinoceros in various locations in Africa and beyond to assure the survival of the species. Likewise, populations of Tasmanian Devils, Przewalski’s Horses, wild cats and many other species have been successfully protected from potential extinction when species have been under threat of extinction.
