Every September 22, #WorldRhinoDay brings people around the world together for one shared purpose: protecting these remarkable animals and securing a future for rhino species in the wild 🦏

Yesterday, we introduced you to Vishnu and shared the conservation story of the Greater One-Horned Rhino. Today, we turn our attention to Africa, where the story of rhino conservation remains both urgent and complex.

While approximately 16,000 Southern white rhinos remain, the Northern white rhino is Critically Endangered, with just two individuals left. Poaching and other human-driven pressures continue to threaten rhino populations, making collaboration and conservation action more important than ever.

Your Toronto Zoo is proud to participate in the White Rhinoceros Species Survival Plan (SSP), helping maintain a healthy and genetically diverse population in human care while supporting the broader effort to protect this iconic species.

Locally and here at your Zoo, Tom, Sabi, Zohari and Kifaru serve as powerful ambassadors for their wild counterparts, helping our guests and members build a deeper connection with rhinos and understand what is at stake.
You can be part of their conservation story, too 💚

Through the tzwconservancy Wilding Endangered Species Preservation Fund, we are proud to support the International Rhino Foundation and its work to protect rhinos around the world.
