Adventure Company Collaborates with Leading Conservation Organization to Support Rhino Population Stabilization and Habitat Protection
High Point, North Carolina – May 27, 2025 – Rewild Safaris announced a strategic partnership with the International Rhino Foundation (IRF) to enhance efforts aimed at bolstering rhino populations, protecting vulnerable species, and preserving critical habitats, all while providing safari travelers with immersive experiences that contribute to rhino conservation initiatives across Africa and Asia.
IRF has remained at the forefront of rhino conservation for over 35 years, facilitating programs that combat poaching, preserve the native environment, and enhance species recovery. These far-reaching efforts also include habitat restoration, community engagement, and scientific research to secure a future for all five rhino species.
“Partnering with the International Rhino Foundation aligns perfectly with our mission to offer transformative journeys that not only reconnect travelers with nature but also actively contribute to the preservation of endangered species,” said James Ward, co-founder of Rewild Safaris. “Through this collaboration, our guests will have the unique opportunity to witness rhinos in their natural habitats and support the vital work being done to protect them.”
Rewild Safaris will curate itineraries that provide exclusive access to IRF-supported conservation sites where travelers can observe firsthand the efforts to protect rhino populations and restore the ecosystems in which they thrive. Whenever possible, Rewild Safaris will coordinate with IRF to showcase rhinos in their natural habitat, providing visitors with a one-of-a-kind experience while ensuring the continued success of rhino protection efforts.
“We’re excited to partner with Rewild Safaris and together provide adventures of discovery to inspire their travelers to help preserve endangered rhinos and their habitats,” said Nina Fascione, executive director of the International Rhino Foundation. “Sustainable tourism contributes to local economies, lets people see amazing wildlife and natural places firsthand and creates a powerful tool to engage people in conservation efforts.”
