Compliments of the Season to all our wonderful clients, friends and suppliers!!!
It’s been quite a year at Rhino Africa and certainly time for a well earned glass of mulled wine and a few mince pies! Thank you for all your loyal support and patronage. But as we kick back this Festive Season, let’s not forget the plight of our horny friends. We did some great awareness raising in 2010, but we can achieve even greater things in 2011 and make a real difference in the fight against poaching!
Dear Santa,
We have been really, really good this year; we made people happy, we paid our taxes and we reduced our carbon footprint. So, we are sure that if you check the ‘Nice’ side of your list you will without doubt see Rhino Africa somewhere near the top. We are also certain that if you shift your gaze to the ‘Naughty’ side, pole position will be occupied by Poachers!
Now, having some idea how your systems work with lists checked twice and such, we would like to use our preferential spot in your books to ask for something big this year…
Last night, in the Northwest Province, another Rhino was slaughtered by poachers. This brings the number of Rhino killed in 2010 to over 316. This is totally unacceptable.
We are sure you’re wondering where you fit in Mr Clause… Well, here’s the deal…
We promise to continue being good and doing good if you agree to reward our saintly behavior with some public love & support for our Pachyderm pals and their conservation. We could be asking for better fences or more wildlife patrols, but we know that the friends of Rhino Africa need to wish for the same to ensure we still see Rhinos on safari for years to come.
And then we might still be able to call ourselves Rhino Africa…
Merry Christmas Santa, fly safely and be sure to pack some shorts – Christmas day is set to be a scorcher in South Africa!
Yours in yuletide cheer,
Rhino Africa
