A LETTER FROM OUR CEO
HELPING
RHINOS
2024 was a challenging year for many charilies around the world as the global financial crisis
began to impact people's ability to sustain their previous levels of charitable giving. i am
incredibly proud that, at Helping Rhinos, we were able to maintain strong income levels, allowing
us to continue supporting our project partners. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to every
single one of our valued supporters for standing shoulder to shoulder with us during these
difficult times and making sure we do all we can to protect these critically endangered animals.
The year also brought significant challenges for rhino living wild and free. Despite a reported
decrease in poaching compared to 2023, we continue to lose more than one rhino each day to
poachers. Alarmingly, we obseNed an increasing trend of dehorned rhinos being targeted
towards the end of 2024 and into 2025. This serves as a stark reminder that we must remain
vigilant, innovative, and proactive to stay one step ahead of criminal syndicates responsible for
the poaching and to ensure the safety of the rhino.
Another critical concern is the shrinking habitat available for rhinos and other wildlife. l am proud
Ihat Helping Rhinos is actively working across multiple locations in Africa to develop Rhino
Strongholds. These protected wild spaces are vital for the future of rhino and many other
threatened species that share their space. Their preservation is essential for global biodiversity.
It has been over 13 years since I founded Helping Rhinos, and witnessing the progress we have
made, alongside our dedicated conseNation partners, fills me with both pride and hope.
Together, we are making meaningful strides toward creating a better environment for rhinos.
As l often say, the rhino crisis is a global challenge requiring a global solution. Every one of us
has a role to play if we are to realise our vision of a safe and sustainable future for rhinos in their
natural habitats, and l again thank you for your continued support.

POACHING
The poaching rate for African rhino species dropped to 2.15 %, the lowest
since 2011, it should be noted that poaching surges across a number of
range states (range states are countries where rhino naturally occur) in
early 2025 have acted as a stark reminder of how quickly these gains can
be lost.
The number of African rhinos decreased by 6.7 % in 2024 compared to 2023
to around 22,540
The international trade in rhino horn has been banned since 1977, yet it
continues to fetch huge profits on the black market. At its peak, rhino horn
was selling for up to $65,000 per kg, more than gold or cocaine.
The price of rhino horn over recent years has dropped to around $20,000
per kg. This trend is encouraging, although in the short term it creates new
challenges as the illegal market becomes more affordable to a potentially
wider customer base.

HABITAT LOSS
The rhinoceros is a keystone species, a megaherbivore whose everyday
actions help to maintain a biodiversity that is critical to the survival of
thousands of other wildlife species who share the same environment.
Without this 'ecosystem engineer, the habitat would be irrevocably altered
by overgrown or invasive wild flora.
Safeguarding wild landscapes and protecting iconic wildlife species has
never been more challenging. The planet's natural resources are being
plundered at an alarming rate and fragile ecosystems are disintegrating.
More than half the human population increase between now and 2100 will
occur in Africa (source.. United Nations). As industrial and agricultural
developments encroach further into pristine wild spaces it is little wonder
Africa's rate of deforestation is one of the highest in the world and wildlife
is suffering as a result.
The economic transformation of Africa is having a direct and negative
impact on its wildlife.mining, major construction, including roads and
railways running through national parks and intrusive farming practices are
all taking their toll.
The work Helping Rhinos can carry out now to secure precious habitat and
demonstrate the positive impact wildlife reserves can have on local and
national economies, such as tourism, is critical for the survival of Africa's
most iconic species.

DISENGAGED
COMMUNITIES
Engagement and empowerment of local communities is critical to the long
term success of wildlife conservation.
Unfortunately we still experience all too frequent cases of human wildlife
conflict where local communities feel 'in competition, with the local wildlife.
This can lead to a resistance to conservation practices which can take
many months and sometimes years to breakdown. A disengaged
community living on the borders of protected wild spaces can lead to an
increase in illegal activities such as bushmeat poaching and setting of fires.
For conservation to succeed, it is essential local communities appreciate
the benefit of living alongside wildlife and are engaged in wildlife
conservation programmes. Humans and wildlife co-existing harmoniously
alongside each other is key to the survival of rhino populations.

BUILDING A FUTURE
¥4
RHINO STRONGHOLDS
Creating wild spaces for wildlife
What is a Rhino Stronghold?
A Rhino Stronghold is an area of wildlife habitat that provides a secure,
sustainable and healthy eco-system which is rich in biodiversity and where
populations of rhino can thrive in their natural habitat. To be successful, a
Rhino Stronghold will also need to contribute to socioeconomic stability
within local communities.
Maintaining viable rhino populations that have the freedom to roam in their
natural habitat is a constant challenge. The strain on fragile ecosystems
due to global climate change and the pressures on land and natural
resources as the result of human activity and encroachment is seriously
impacting rhino habitats.
Our Rhino Stronghold initiative focuses on the critically endangered black
rhino as a 'figure head, to restore degraded wild spaces and open up
wildlife corridors to create habitat expansion that will have a positive
impact on global climate change while improving the socioeconomic
landscape within local communities, This approach will also benefit the
white rhino, whose territories are often shared with the black rhino, as well
as other native wildlife species as Rhino Strongholds will be designed with
the needs of all the animal species that occupy the land in mind.

PROTECT
the Wildlife
Developments in anti-poaching operations, including new technology,
building effective intelligence networks and increasing Ranger patrols
are reaping rewards. It is critical that this momentum is maintained in
order to reduce the number of poaching incidents each year. Any
relaxation in these protection operations will undoubtedly see an
instant increase in poaching numbers.
Helping Rhinos funds the rescue and rehabilitation of orphaned baby
rhinos, Ranger training, the deployment of anti-poaching K-9 units and
drone & aircraft surveillance. All these projects are having a positive
impact on the ongoing protection of rhino and will be a critical
component to the success of our Rhino Strongholds.

174
PRESERVE
their Habitats
Human encroachment and incompatible land use are having an
increasingly devastating effect on wildlife habitats and fragile
ecosystems are disintegrating. The consequences of losing wildlife
habitat will have a profound impact on the future for large mammals and
predators.
Helping Rhinos recognises that rhino conservation is not about a 'one
size fits all, approach, but about appraising, adapting and promoting
sustainable conservation models. We shall continue to influence and
advocate on a diverse range of conservation solutions driven by the
latest science, technology and innovative management protocols.
Helping Rhinos is working in the field to maximise land availability with
the goal of increasing rhino populations and, where population limits are
being reached, supporting land expansion opportunities.

PROVIDE
for People
Helping Rhinos is proud to support initiatives that are helping to develop
the skills and abilities of poorer communities living in proximity to wildlife
reserves, Encouraging leadership, collaborative working, and with added
mentoring and financial support, Helping Rhinos is helping to empower
local communities.
By providing engaging community-centered programmes, we not only help
to achieve a greater understanding and support for rhino conservation, but
we also create a positive impact in the local communities.
Investing in education and local partnerships is a critical path that is
changing the lives of a vibrant energised younger generation who really
want to live in a greener, more compassionate world.
Each engaging, collaborative community project implemented, is creating
a legacy for a sustainable future for the rhino.

Rhino Orphan Rescues
2024 has been a remarkable one for rhino conservation,
with 13 orphaned rhinos successfully rescued and five ready
to return lo the wild. It was also confirmed that one of our
previously rewilded orphans has mated with a wild rhino and
is now expecting. This is the first of our re-wilded female
orphans to become pregnant and marks a major milestone
for reintegration and popula(ion growih. To ensure the well-
being of all orphaned rhinos, enrichment has been
introduced in every boma, providing essential stimulation
and comfort during their rehabilitation.
Beyond rhino care, conservation efforts have Created vital
employment opporiunities. A dedicated ieam of 24 staff
members has been employed to manage alien plant and
bush clearing, improving habitats for wildlife. Additionally,
nine fence guards and two new permanent field rangers
have strengthened secuTlty, ensuring the ongoing protection
of rhinos in their natural environment.
VOICES FROM
THE FRONT LINE
'Animals are in my heart... I never thought it could
be this incredible.... l understand why it is done,
when you go back and look at the animals that went
to extinction, you get to appreciate this project
because our grandchildren will come and see these
animals, unlike the ones that have gone to
extinction.
We thank the collaborations (with Helping Rhinos)
that has been created for the project to be initiated
and to be established, thanks to them that's why we
are here.

Eyes in the Sky
Helping Rhinos fully funds the Eyes in the Sky project
with our parlner the African Rhino Conservation
Collaboration (ARCC).
Aerial and drone surveillance have played a crucial role
in strengthening Thino protection efforts. Through the
Eyes in the Sky programme, 300 hours of aerial patrols
have been flown, providing critical oversight of vast
landscapes and detecting potential threats in real lime.
These patrols enhance anli-poaching strategies by
offering a bird's-eye view of key rhino habitats.
Complementing these efforts, 750 hours of drone
patrols have further bolstered secuTlty on the ground.
With advanced monitoring technology, drones provide
Invaluable support to rangers, allowing for rapid
response to suspicious activity and ensuring round-the-
clock protection for rhinos in ihe wild.
VOICES FROM
THE FRONT LINE
"I fly the fence lines to check whether or not there is
any...suspicious activity and any damage to the
fence...and check along the public roads that run
through the reserve and alongside them, just to
create a presence there to deter poachers. you have
a better view from up there, you are covering large
amount of space in a short time.
I have a passion to fly.. being able to combine it
with conservation, helping the ground team,
protecting the rhinos, just bringing it all into one is
amazing.

Rhino Protection
01 Pejeta's rhino population has reached 224, including
175 black rhinos, 47 southern white rhinos, and the last
o norlhern white rhinos. To enhance protection efforts,
21 new rangers were recruited, and an additional 49
successfully completed their training. In January 2024,
six black rhinos were translocated to Loisaba, helping to
establish a new rhino stronghold and expand critical
habitat for the species.
Conservation efforts also extended to habitat
restoration, with a special droughl-resistant tree-planting
iniiiative launched in partnership with local communities.
This project aims to stabilize soil, retain water, and
safeguard the land during extreme weather events. In
2024 alone, 20,000 trees were planted, reinforcing the
commitment to protecting both rhinos and their
environment.
VOICES FROM
THE FRONT LINE
"Why do we celebrate a rhino birth?
A rhino matured at the age of 7 and the gestation
period is about one and a half years. Every two and
a half to three years a rhino gives birth. If you lose
one rhino, your inter-calving interval is six years
that's a LONG timel
In 1970 we had around 65,000 rhinos in Africa. By
1990 we had less than 4,0001 That is why we
celebrate EVER Y rhino that is born"

Tracking Devices
Advanced technology continues to strengthen rhino
conservation efforts, enhancing monitoring and
security. Nineteen tracking devices have been fitted,
allowing teams to closely monitor rhino movements
and respond swiftly to potential threats.
In addition, a LORA network has been established
on TCA, improving long-range communication for
field teams. A comprehensive camera trap network
has also been implemented, providino valuable data
on wi Idlife activity and ensuring continuous
surveillance across key areas.
Helping Rhinos will continue to support the
protection of rhinos across all our projects with the
f itting of tracking devices when it is appropriate.
VOICES FROM
THE FRONT LINE
' I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to
Helping R17inos and all of their supporters around
the world who have contributed to the fitting of
rhino tracking devices.
That support means that there are 50 plus rhino
that are that bit safer in the Eastern Cape of South
Africa. We appreciate and value that support
enormously."

Range Expansion
Significant strides have been made in habitat
expansion and restoration to support rhino
conservation. Through the Conservation Landscape
Institute, 1,650 hectares have been added to the
Tanglewood Conservation Area, creating more
space for wi Idlife to thrive. As part of this effort.
black rhinos have been introduced to the expanded
Kariega West section of the reserve, contributing to
the founder population in the region and
strengthening lono-term conservation efforts.
In preparation for the Bushman's River Corridor
expansion, a dedicated five-person Alien Plant
Control Team is actively working on the reserve,
removing invasive species to restore and maintain
healthy ecosystems for rhinos and other wildlife.
VOICES FROM
THE FRONT LINE
"The Bushman's River Valley, within the Eastern
Cape is part of a much larger conservation
expansion programme. Excitingly it is soon to be a
landscape that will be filled with rhino again.
Starting off with white rhino initially, that will unlock
the opportunity to hopefully, in the next few years,
reintroduce black rhino, which will be absolutely
pivotal and the start of a new rhino stronghold here
in the Eastern Cape.

AN
Opening of a New School
Significant progress has been made in expanding
conservation education initiatives. The planning process
for the Ligerman Education Centre was successfully
negolialed with local authorities and community
leadership, ensuring alignment with local needs and
sustainability goals. Following this, the construction of
the Ligerman Education Cenire was completed, marking
a major milestone in providing educational opportunities
for future conservationists.
Building on this success, efforts continued with the
identificaiion of a sile for the Wilson Education Centre.
This nexi step paves the way for furiher educational
outreach, fostering a deeper connection between local
communities and wildlife Conservation efforts.
VOICES FROM
THE FRONT LINE
The effort to protect biodiversity involves the active
participation of local communities. Since our
communities live so close to the Kariega Game
Reserve, the people in these areas are working hand-
in-hand to protect the environment and the species
that call it home. By engaging communities in wildlife
conservation, we're fostering a sense of ownership
and responsibility.
In partnership with helping Rhinos we have built the
Ligerman Educational Centre, an Early Childhood
within one of the communities. This Centre provides a
nurturing, healthy, and stimulating environment where
children can build a strong foundation for future
learning and well-being.

Black Mambas
Over the past year, dedicated patrol teams conducted
1,355 patrols, covering 10,000 hectares to ensure the
safety of wildlife. A total of 353 snares were removed, and
re-wilded white rhinos from other reserves and projects
project were closely monitored and prolecled. Thanks to
these efforts, an entire year passed without any animals
losi io poaching, marking a significant achievement in
conservation and anti-poaching initiatives.
Beyond wildlife protection, community engagement
remains a key focus. Every Friday, the Bush Babies {BB)
Cenire provides scouis with a hot meal and a drink as a
token of appreciation for their hard work. The program also
supports 1,222 local children in conservation education,
while 62 people are directly employed, and an additional
480 individuals benefit indirectly, Creating a ripple effect of
positive change In the surrounding communities.
VOICES FROM
THE FRONT LINE
"My job is a dangerous job, not only poachers, but
because we are patrolling in a big 5 area. Going
there everyday, putting on the uniform, going inside
the bush to protect those animals, there is this mind
that con7es in, what if I get killed by poachers, but
because we are the voice of the animals, there is no
one who is going to do this job, we have to solider
on and protect the voiceless.

They bring together leading experts in conservation to discuss enlightening topics with an
engaged and passionate audience.
In 2024, we continued this tradition with a series of impactful events. Our online screening and
Q&A of Keratin provided an eye-opening look into the devastating reality of rhino poaching,
while our tennis tournamenl saw supporters rally together for rhino conservalion. The Brighton
Rhino Trail brought conservation to life through art, inspiring communities to engage with our
mission.
These events, alongside our flagship Sundowners Celebration, united our global community in
support of rhino conservation. Thanks to your generosity, we've raised vital funds to protect

A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN
2024 was a transition year for Helping Rhinos with
significant internal change against a backdrop of a
challenging environment for charity fundraising. Through all
this change, we ended the year in a strong position with a
new team supporting Simon Jones and a refreshed Trustee
Board with enhanced skillsets and on the ground
experience in Africa. Most importantly, we had an agreed 5-
year strategy, focusing on growing the capability of Helping
Rhinos to make a real difference in developing Rhino
Strongholds in South Africa and Kenya.
Ll.
What hasn't changed is the fantastic relationships the charity has with effective partners
who are able to protect the rhino population, preserve their environments and provide for
the long-term community engagement that is so vital in making this a sustainable strategy.
The reputation of Helpino Rhinos and our CEO Simon Jones is evident throuoh the ability to
bring partners together, maximising their impact and i expect to see a great deal more of
this in the future.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year as Chair of Trustees. I'd like to thank lan Kerr, my
predecessor as Chaimian for all he contributed and, Trustees, past and present for the
considerable support they provide to the charity. There is no doubt that the environment for
Charities continues to be very challenging and is unlikely to improve in the short term. I'm
confident though, with the team we have at Helping Rhinos, that we'll be able to continue
the great work done since the charity was established 12 years ago.

UK TRUSTEE'S REPORT
Financial review
In 2024 Helping Rhinos achieved the following financial highlights..
Revenue.. £358kWr versus £570k Ihe previous year.
Donations to field projects.. £171k versus £260k the previous year
Reserves held.. £250k veTSUS £370k the previous year
A full financial breakdown can be found in the approved year end accounts.
'FUndr￿SIng was below expectations in 2024 due to a diffi'cult giving environment across the
sector and because of an internaj decision made to restructure the Helping Rhinos Operations
team. The restructure resulted in a short ierm impact on fundraising but the charity is now belter
placed to achieve its long-lerm goals and aspirations. We expect our income to increase in fvture
years.
Policy on reserves
Helping Rhinos Tequires a level of free reserves to safeguard the operation of the organisation
from unexpected delays In the receipt of grants, donations and other funding and unforeseen
expenditure.
The Trustees, having reviewed the risks to which HelpingRhinos might be subject to, have
decided that the reseNes that should be held are a minimum of the next six months of operational
expenditure. This level of reserves allows sufficient time for an organised wind down of
operational activities should that be necessary and the sensible and proper distribulion of
restricted income during this period.
There is no upper limit stipulated on the amount of reseNes that should be held as the reserves
can be distorted by one•off receipts such as legacies and suitability of appropriate field projects lo
provide funding for. However, it would normally be expected that reserves would not exceed the
next 12 months of operational expenditure.
At 31 December 2024, £215,527 is held in unrestricted reserves plus £34,652 in restricted
reserves allocated to the field projects supported.
Prlnclpal fundlng sources
The principle sources of fundraising for Helping Rhinos are..
Evenls
Supporter fvndraising
Online and mailing campaigns
Corporate sponsorship
Trusts and Foundallon grants
Golng concern
There are currently no uncertants'es about the charity continuing as a going concern.
