Help Lewa's Rhino Conservation Programme.

Lewa's rhino population is flourishing and growing.  We now have 58 black and 42 white individuals.  We have been very successful in protecting and nurturing our wildlife but it all costs money.  This year has been particularly difficult for us with a serious decline in tourist revenues and as a result we are now struggling to maintain our core operations.  It is ironic that as this income has declined our rhino population has increased dramatically.

We have a plan.  We would like to offer all our loyal supporters the opportunity to contribute to one of our most important programmes: protecting and monitoring our rhinos. We are offering the chance to name a calf out of our growing populations; we have six white and one black rhino calves without names.  We are also offering the chance to adopt a rhino and to purchase a limited edition Rhino Bronze by Michael Coleman.

All naming and adopting options below are on an annual basis (but of course the name lives forever!).
By supporting a rhino through adoption or naming greatly helps Lewa Wildlife Conservancy offset these expensive overhead costs while giving you a real investment in one of the greatest assets Lewa has to offer.

Name a Rhino

We would like to take this opportunity to offer you the possibility to name one of the calves.  The cost of keeping and protecting each rhino is a staggering $8,500 per year. The majority of this sum is for maintaining the 156 men strong security team that patrols Lewa daily and makes sure that all the rhinos are within their home range and are safe and sound.

For $8,500 per year you would be able to:

• Name your calf. It can be any name but preferably with the same first letter as the mother.  This helps us to keep track of the genetic line.
• You will be given a rhino bronze engraved with the name of your calf.
• You will be sent updates and photos twice per year.
• We will send you details of the range within Lewa of mother and baby.
• You will be sent a certificate of adoption.
• You will have a personal contact in the Lewa office who will answer any questions you may have on the progress of your calf.

Adopt a Rhino.

We are also offering the chance to adopt any of our named population, so for a minimum of $1500 per year we offer the following:

• You will be sent updates and photos twice per year.
• We will send you detail of the range within Lewa of your rhino.
• You will be sent a certificate of adoption.
• You will have a personal contact in the Lewa office that will answer any questions you may have on the progress of your adoptee.

Michael Coleman has produced a beautiful, limited edition, rhino bronze. For $600 you can own one. It will make a wonderful ornament for your mantelpiece! It stands six inches high and eight inches from nose to tail.

Part of your money will be used to support Lewa's rhinocerous conservation activities.

Please include your physical address and/or your postal address so we know where it needs to be sent, and can calculate the shipping cost. Postage and packing will be extra.

Please apply as soon as you can to Paula Morris (lewausa@verizon.net) or Linda Millard (Linda.millard@gmail.com) in the USA

We are sure this will be a popular offer and we need the help.
