A WELCOME FROM YOUR HOSTS...

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic impact on conservation around the world. With nations in lockdown and unprecedented global travel restrictions, wildlife, and in particular rhino, are facing an increased threat of poaching. An abrupt loss of tourism income is threatening recent progress in anti-poaching, habitat protection and community empowerment.

Simon Jones CEO, Helping Rhinos

Helping Rhinos and Ol Pejeta Conservancy have joined forces to present a unique online fundraising event in November 2020. Originally scheduled to take place in London, global lockdown restrictions now make this impossible, so we are going LIVE and ON AIR instead.

We promise an entertaining evening and we would love you to join us.

We hope the evening will help to raise critical funds that will enable us to continue our cutting edge conservation work that is helping to save the last northern white rhino on the planet and protect the critically endangered black rhino.

When we protect the rhino we are protecting a whole ecosystem, a myriad of other wildlife that are supported by this mega herbivore. If we lose the rhino we lose the biodiversity that it has been a part of for millennia. We all have a part to play in protecting this iconic species.

INTERNATIONAL BALLET SENSATION

performing

a bespoke contemporary piece choreographed for

"this piece puts together my memories of people and animals in my beloved Kenya"

Joel Kioko (20) discovered ballet when he was 12, when a dance outreach programme visited his school, in a slum area of Nairobi, where he grew up. Having shown incredible natural talent, whilst messing around ‘teasing his cousin’ with high leaps and faux dance moves, Joel was offered an opportunity to take ballet on a scholarship at Dance Centre Kenya, with American ballerina and artistic director, Cooper Rust.

A four-year training began which saw Joel excel, winning scholarships to American summer programmes and finally in 2017, a scholarship to the English National Ballet School in London.

This summer, Joel graduated the school and had auditions lined up with companies in Europe, before the pandemic put his future on hold.

In October, Joel was granted a place on the newly established, and highly contested, Professional Trainee Programme at English National Ballet School, which he will graduate in June 2021. Joel hopes to join a Classical Ballet Company in Europe or the United States in 2021.

Joel is the first protégé of Cooper Rust, who then founded Artists For Africa, a registered charity that provides arts and dance teaching for some of the poorest children in Kenya.

Najin Original Artwork by Award Winning Wildlife Artist Karen Laurence-Rowe What Najin represents as one of the last of her kind has been perfectly captured in this stunning oil on canvas by internationally renowned wildlife artist, Karen Laurence-Rowe. Mother and daughter, Fatu are the last two northern white rhino, the last of a species that only science can now save.

"Whenever I am in the presence of Najin and Fatu - or looking at their images, which I have done now hundreds of thousands of times during the painting process - I am acutely aware of the potential finiteness of it all.

Of all the endangered species I have painted, these two are the ones that most profoundly stir the fear of loss in me - can science save them? Call me foolish - but I’ll put a hand on their tough hides and pray that it can.�

Karen Laurence-Rowe Karen has lived in Africa all her life and currently resides in Kenya where the extraordinary wildlife and landscapes continue to capture her imagination and fill the canvases and surfaces that she works on. In the last few years, Karen has increasingly turned her attention to the conservation of wildlife and endangered species. Her work clearly reflects Karen's passion in this area.

After Sudan, the last known male, died, Karen was determined the conservation in crisis messages that reverberated around the world would not fade with his passing and immediately set about preserving on canvas a lasting tribute to the last two female northern white rhinos, Najin and Fatu.

To capture the significance of this unwanted future Karen re-visited a technique that she had experimented with nearly two decades ago in the hope that the method would allow the portraits to take on a ‘museum’ quality - a status that a near extinct species deserves!

Karen Laurence-Rowe Karen’s conservation artworks have earned her global recognition including Artist for Conservation Foundation, Medal of Excellence (2017), David Shepherd Personal Choice Award (2017), Simon Combes Conservation Artist Award in Canada (2015), and the Wildlife Artist of the Year (2012).

"Throughout the process of the paintings Karen wanted the rhinos to look archaic, precious, irreplaceable. No background clutter, no frills - just pure essence of rhino!

I endeavoured to evoke the feeling in the viewer that they were looking at a creature from bygone years, now extinct - and leave them wondering at how a creature so marvellous could ever have existed!”

Sudan the Monument

by Rungwe Kingdon In the impending tragedy of Sudan’s death in March 2018 we wanted to record with the best means possible the actuality of what the extinction of the northern white rhino means with a powerful but poignant three dimensional image. The first time humans realised they could exterminate an entire species was the Dodo, now 360 years later we are facing extinctions on an enormous scale and we felt that Sudan could become a totemic symbol, at least as potent as the iconic images of the Dodo, but one for our own age.

Click for more information and to bid The tragedy of Sudan’s plight galvanised us into action and together with the digital and modelling teams at Pangolin we have made our monument.

On one side Sudan lies on the ground his huge head heavy with advanced years and the weight of his iconic relict status, on the other he tilts his head slightly and raises a foreleg, a symbol of hope for the moment an embryo created with his sperm is born struggles up and rescues his species from total extinction.

To this end we recorded Sudan with photogrammetry and white light scanning and from these digital records 3D printed and sculpted first this metre long Maquette and then a fully life size sculpture. It is intended to be a monument to Sudan and his species; a plea for all the other species we are having such an immense impact on and to try and convey something of what it feels like to be in the presence of such a magnificent animal.

ABOUT OL PEJETA Ol Pejeta is the largest black rhino sanctuary in East and Central Africa, and home to the last two remaining northern white rhino on the planet. It is the only place in Kenya to see chimpanzees, in a Sanctuary established to rehabilitate animals rescued from the black market. It has some of the highest predator densities in Kenya, and still manages a very successful livestock programme. Ol Pejeta also seeks to support the people living around its borders, to ensure wildlife conservation translates to better education, healthcare and infrastructure for the next generation of wildlife guardians.

Ol Pejeta does rhino conservation like no one else. The Conservancy employs highly trained rhino protection squads, partners with international veterinary experts and ensures data is gathered regularly on each individual animal. Steps like these ensure it remains a role model for rhino conservation in East Africa.

In 2015, Ol Pejeta took over the management of the neighbouring Mutara Conservancy (20,000 acres). This will be adequately secured over the next few years to accommodate Ol Pejeta’s expanding black rhino population – which is nearing full carrying capacity. Not only does Mutara provide a much-needed safe habitat for black rhino, but also acts as a safe corridor for migratory wildlife which connects Ol Pejeta to the greater Laikipia ecosystem.

Exclusive One Off Bronze of Sudan's Footprint by Matbronze

Click for more information and to bid

Matbronze Sudan was the last male northern white rhino on the planet when he died of age related complications in March 2018.

Cast by Kenyan artist Denis Mathews when Sudan was still alive, this bronze of his footprint is the only one of its kind. The bronze was created on site at Ol Pejeta and cast at the Matbronze foundry using the ‘lost wax’ casting technique. Its sheer size reminds us of the power of the magnificent Sudan.

As a one off production, this is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a treasured memory of the most famous rhino in the world, and the last of his kind.

Dimensions: 30 x 30cm

Matbronze is a family business based in the heart of Kenya. They strive to capture the beauty of Africa's wildlife in handmade bronze sculptures, in the hope that by doing so, the animals themselves will become timeless.

Matbronze Art Gallery & Foundry features a display of over 600 hand cast bronze sculptures by wildlife artist Denis Mathews. From tiny lion cub paw prints to life sized crocodiles, the sculptures are impressive and fascinating to look at in their accurate representation of a diverse range of Kenya’s wildlife.

ABOUT HELPING RHINOS Viable rhino populations that have the freedom to roam in their natural habitat, under the strain of global climate change and when the pressures on land and natural resources are increasing at such a rapid rate, is a constant challenge. At Helping Rhinos we recognise the need to restore habitats back to their natural state while simultaneously providing for the local communities.

Helping Rhinos invests in critical projects that have the greatest potential to protect the black and white rhino in Africa. We support partners in the field that not only demonstrate a commitment to rhino conservation; their protection and reproduction in their natural habitat, but who also recognise the importance of local community involvement - employment opportunities, business creation opportunities and education in local schools.

It’s true, a little can go a long way and money spent wisely can have a tremendous lasting impact. Together with our partners, like Ol Pejeta, and the generous support of our donors, we are able to continue the critical care and protection the rhino needs to thrive.

Sudan, an African Legend - Original Artwork

by Karen Laurence-Rowe

Click for more information and to bid

When internationally award winning artist Karen Laurence-Rowe first met Sudan, he was already very old and rarely showed much energy. It is therefore, with grateful thanks to Glyn Edmonds who kindly allowed Karen to use his reference shot of Sudan - tail up and showing the kind of feistiness displayed by a much younger rhino, that Karen was able to produce this stunning watercolour.

Obsessed with the legend he has become, this is the third painting of Sudan Karen have completed - and the second watercolour. Sketching, photographing and spending time with this great beast has left his memory firmly sketched in her mind and it is Karen's greatest wish that the funds raised from this artwork can help do some good for those he left behind.

Immortalise your beloved pet as a precious piece of artwork by the amazingly talented Tori Ratcliffe.

This rhino sculpture was completely made of about 80 flip flops

by Ocean Sole to reduce the pollution of our oceans. Its size showcases the solidity and grandeur of rhinos.

The inspiration for Tori's style of artwork has many sources. A love of fashion illustration introduced her to the idea of combining pen and wash, whilst an interest in the works of artists such as Jackson Pollock and Ralph Steadman helped her embrace the art of the paint splat. The love affair with the fine liner pen comes from her time at college where I studied Graphic Design and Illustration.

Ocean Soles is a social enterprise, that upcycles washed up flip-flops found along the beaches and waterways in Kenya. They positively impact over a 1,000 Kenyans through the collection of flip-flops and direct employment. They recycled over half a million flip-flops in 2019 and aim to recycle a million this year.

‘Power and Beauty’ is an incredible photograph of a Great White Shark in Guadalupe, Mexico, by Filipe DeAndrade, renowned National Geographic Explorer, photographer and filmmaker.

This Brian Moghari photograph ‘Magnificence’ showcases a beautiful Great Hammerhead Shark in Bimini, Bahamas.

My favourite animal in the ocean is the great white shark. This is the most beautiful and powerful animal and perfectly adapted to this underwater paradise.

Great hammerhead sharks like this one in Bimini in the Bahamas, migrate there to feed on stingrays.

They are amazing animals, unlike anything else. Sadly, they are now listed as critically endangered.
