Sauvez les Rhinocéros noirs
<blockquote>
<p>When your horn is worth gold, then you are in danger!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is the case of the rhinoceros. This majestic animal is the largest land mammal after the elephant.</p>
<p>Despite his imposing build, he is not able to defend himself alone against barbarism. His horn, which is his strength is also, alas, what leads him to his loss.</p>
<p>It is sought after and sold at a high price, making it a coveted product and thus putting the species at risk in the face of the greed of certain individuals willing to kill for its value.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The current status of the rhinoceros</p>
<p> "Black Rhinoceros: Critically Endangered (IUCN), listed in CITES Appendix I" (source WWF)</p>
<p>White Rhinoceros: Near Threatened (IUCN), listed in Appendix II of CITES</p>
</blockquote>
<p>So we must take action to protect this species.</p>
<p>To do this many actors get engaged.</p>
<h2 style="text-align:center"><strong>And we too, on our scale, can act.</strong></h2>
<hr />
<p>This is why, as part of our safari in South Africa, we want to contribute to the conservation and protection of biodiversity, and in particular of this species.</p>
<p>More specifically, we want to fund the identification of a rhinoceros to ensure a peaceful life away from any risk of poaching.</p>
<p><strong>Where is it going?</strong><br />
<br />
The action will take place in the Thanda Safari Reserve in the KwaZulu-Natal region.</p>
<p>This private reserve is engaged in many conservation actions including the protection of black rhinos.</p>

<p>Thus, the goal is to search, find, identify and protect one of the rhinos in the reserve.</p>
<p><strong>When is it happening?</strong><br />
<br />
This operation that takes half a day is scheduled between February 21st and 23th 2019 (depending on the weather in particular).</p>
<p>It will take place in the early morning to avoid the heat of the day.</p>
<p><strong>How's it going ?</strong><br />
The first step is to go in search of an unidentified rhino. A helicopter goes in search of him while a medical team joins the animal in 4x4, once spotted.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/558556/TWC005-Conservation-Rhino-Capture-Photo-by-Christian-Sperka-1200x802-1544000522.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>He is asleep.</p>
<p>Samples are taken.</p>
<p>He gets dehorn.</p>
<p>The animal is released in the bush.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/558588/TWC003-Conservation-Rhino-Capture-Photo-by-Christian-Sperka-1200x814-1544005891.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>And if time permits, a second animal can, in the same way, will be protected and identified.</p>
<h2><strong>Who are we ?</strong></h2>
<p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/559163/48387522_2263438047314194_2833049420163973120_n-1544370850.jpg" width="100%" /></p>
<p>Julien and Quentin, two globe-trotters. We are passionate about discovering the world. Each time we travel, we try to have a solidarity and / or civic dimension. Whether by discovering local traditions, by supporting associations or by contributing to solidarity organizations. Thus, we have already been able (together or individually), for example to visit a child we sponsor in Thailand, to contribute to an orphanage in Cambodia, to visit and share a few days with the Dani tribe in Papua , visit an elephant retreat center in Thailand also, or volunteer at a Panda Conservation Center in China...</p>

<p>It is essential for us to make our travels useful and not just consumerist.</p>
<p>This time we see greater for a real project of safeguarding and protecting an endangered species. That's why we need your support!</p>
Allocation of funds
<h2><strong>A concrete project</strong></h2>
<p><br />
The purpose of this fundraising is to raise enough funds to support a rhinoceros conservation operation.</p>
<p>We will collect the funds that will be transferred to Julien Chadeyron.<br />
The funds thus collected will be paid in part (approximately € 1800: R27,500) to the Thanda Safari reserve for the organization of the operation.</p>
<p>Here is the detail of what the funds raised will be used for.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="https://d3v4jsc54141g1.cloudfront.net/uploads/project_image/image/559142/Capture_d_e_cran_2018-12-05_a__15.18.49-1544358539.png" width="100%" /></p>
<p>This "rhino notching" operation consists of the identification of one (or more) rhinoceros.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>IN ADDITION, for every donator of 10€ and more, 1€ will be donated to WWF.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><em>Please note that all the counterparties requiring texts will be delivered in french.</em></p>
