The Australian Rhino ProjectRegistered

The Australian Rhino Project is a conservation organisation which is committed to working as part of the collective international fight to protect African rhinoceros from extinction. The Australian Rhino Project, together with Royal Zoological Society of South Australia, Orana Wildlife Park, Werribee Wildlife Park and Taronga Conservation Society Australia, are currently working to expand the population of white rhinos in Australia and New Zealand to maintain a genetically diverse breeding crash that can be relocated back to Africa should the rhino become extinct in its African homeland. The principal activities of The Australian Rhino Project (the company) during the financial year included: Engagement with various parties to determine ideal processes for the importation of rhinos Ongoing work with experts to establish appropriate protocols for rhino importation Maintenance of appropriate quarantine facilities in Australia and New Zealand; and Preparing for the drafting of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) permit applications for both export and import of rhinos.
