Rhino Horn is NOT Medicine.
Rhino Horn is NOT Medicine is the world’s first blog focused on the illegal trade in rhino horn and rhino conservation issues, and is published by Saving Rhinos LLC.
About Saving Rhinos
Saving Rhinos was launched in 2007, and publishes news and information about the illegal trade in rhino horn and rhino conservation issues.
Saving Rhinos is organized as a California Limited Liability Company (LLC) and is not a charity or nonprofit, and does not accept donations. We maintain our independence and support our own efforts with rhino t-shirt sales.
A portion of the t-shirt proceeds goes to Partnership for Rhino Conservation (PARC), Nepal. If you enjoy our blog, the posters and the website, help us out with a t-shirt.
We also publish the Project Pangolin blog.
A brief summary of how we work:
- Professionally curate and publish news, information, and content on a central platform.
- Inform the public by providing insight and contextual relevance regarding issues that do not typically receive in-depth coverage.
- Network behind the scenes to assist verifiable media sources and select NGOs with content-related projects.
- Create educational and public awareness materials (see our Downloads page).
