Dedicated mounted rangers patrol vast and rugged landscapes where poachers can exploit remote access points to carry out illegal hunting. With horses, these rangers can cover up to 30km a day — three times the distance they would on foot — enabling them to respond faster to incursions and greatly improving the chances of stopping poachers before a rhino becomes another statistic. However, these units face constant challenges, including underfunding, extreme working conditions, and the daily dangers posed by wildlife encounters. Project Rhino supports selected game reserves by helping to equip, train, and maintain these vital horse-mounted patrol units.
