This blog was created to educate people about the dangers black rhinos in Subsaharan Africa, especially in Zimbabwe, are currently facing. Due to the current economic crisis in Zimbabwe, black rhinos are under heavy assault. There are fewer than 2,500 black rhinos left in the wild and their numbers continue to dwindle due to poaching. Highly sought after for its horn, the black rhino is an easy target due to its poor eyesight and a less than natural fear of humans from constant viewing by tourists.
Imire Safari Ranch in Marondera, Zimbabwe is committed to black rhino breeding and conservation. This blog is dedicated to the Travers family and their efforts.

Imire was targeted Wednesday night by poachers. They suffered a tragic loss. All three adult rhinos were killed. The Travers need all the help they can get in order to continue their amazing program. I think this is an amazing thing you've done. I hope it helps.
