In 1972 there were 65,000 black rhinos roaming the plains of Africa; in 1993, the numbers were down to 2,300, and with good management and international interest, they have now built up to about 3,600 - a 95% decline in just over 30 years. 

Our activities are of three main types:

1. We raise funds.  This is done through events, trips, membership and financial or material donations.

2. We support selected projects with these funds.  

3. We follow through.  We stay informed on a near-daily basis of the situation in Zimbabwe and neighboring countries, particularly of the projects that we have an interest in.  We visit as frequently as we can.  We also provide the people in the field some moral support, by communicating frequently with them, and being there for them during times of crisis. 

We are fighting to save Zimbabwe and Africa's remaining black rhinos. There had not been any rhino poaching since February 1994, but, sadly, many have been killed since early 2003.   

The SAVE FOUNDATION has donated more than $3.2 million worth of field equipment, including 11 four wheel drive vehicles, 15 motor bikes, 15 outboard motors, 10 reconditioned engines and gearboxes, numerous sets of radios and tons of spare parts for all of the above. 

Every effort must be made to keep adequate protection forces in the field.
