ABOUT US
Founded in 2023, Task Force Rhino is a non-profit with the sole objective of training and supporting anti-poaching units, providing them with additional skills and resources to combat poaching effectively whilst minimizing risks.
MISSION & HISTORY.
In the heart of the African bush, anti-poaching rangers stand as guardians against the relentless assault on nature. Their mission: to protect wildlife and defend the irreplaceable treasures of our natural world. Yet, their noble duty often comes at an exorbitant price—the cost of their lives.
According to the International Ranger Federation, since 2012, over 1,000 rangers have fallen in the line of duty whilst protecting wildlife and defending the treasures of our natural world.
Each statistic represents a life cut short, a family left shattered, and in many cases a species inching closer to oblivion. Anti-poaching rangers endure unimaginable hardships—traversing treacherous terrain and avoiding dangerous animals, navigating through dense forests, and confronting armed poachers, all in the name of safeguarding our planet's biodiversity.
​
Task Force Rhino is a registered non-profit with the sole objective of supporting anti-poaching units throughout Southern Africa.
Our specialist training equips anti-poaching rangers with the skills and knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of their perilous environment more effectively. Rigorous instruction in small unit tactics, remote medicine and conflict resolution allows us to not only bolster the effectiveness of anti-poaching efforts but also prioritize the safety and well-being of those who dedicate their lives to protecting our planet's precious wildlife.
​
All of our volunteers operate on a non-paid basis, and our operations are funded exclusively by donations.
