It’s time to take real action. It’s a widely known fact that rhinos are on the brink of extinction – but not if we have anything to say about it.
Welcome to The Rhino Momma Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving and expanding the White Rhino population in Namibia. It is our mission to support the largest White Rhino breeding program in Namibia, who aim to save this magnificent species from extinction through anti-poaching strategies, conservation education, and importantly, breeding new calves to repopulate, Namibia, Africa, and hopefully the world.

Rhino horn trimming
As a means of protecting our rhinos, the horns of all our rhinos are regularly trimmed to make them less attractive to poachers.
This is a quick and painless procedure for the rhino, however, a very expensive one for the project. Therefore, we largely rely on donations to be able to do the horn trimming, in order to keep our rhinos safe.
How you can help
There are only two Northern White Rhinos left on the planet. Both female. If poaching continues at its current pace the Southern White Rhino will join them at the brink of extinction in our lifetime.
90 of the estimated 21 085 Southern White Rhino left, call Rhino Momma Project home. Here our main purpose is to grow these population figures by providing the best environment, feed, security and veterinary services rhinos need to flourish.
What's happening
Legalization of the rhino horn trade.
Listen to Alex Oelofse as he speaks about the legalization of the rhino horn trade, how it could help rhino conservation, and the plight that these magnificent animals are continuously fighting.
