Foreword His Majesty King Zwelithini Goodwill kaBhekuzulu
Rhino are South Africa’s and particularly Zululand’s proud national heritage that have survived through the ages, dating back to the prehistoric era and it is very sad that their survival should now depend on man to save them from extinction when it is man who are presently destroying them. If we are to depart this earth and leave behind abundant populations of rhino for our future generations to enjoy, share and appreciate, we urgently need to take action against the perpetrators of wildlife crimes whilst doing all that we can to protect our remaining rhino populations. I appeal to the public including the international community to help the initiatives of the various local and international conservation agencies, the South African Government as well as NGO’s that are raising funds to save our rhino. We cannot allow these criminals to decimate one of the legendary “Big 5” animals as they are doing so purely for their own economic and selfish personal gains. I fully support the efforts of PROJECT RHINO and I encourage you to do the same.
