AFRICAN RHINO CONSERVATION COMPANY (ARC)
ARC promotes survival of the two species of African rhino and strives for durable solutions to halt threats to their existence. ARC favours original thinking and assists meaningful conservation and breeding projects, thereby creatively modeling a new future for rhinos. Old school conservation ‘ethics’ and failed programs, especially CITES rhino management directives will be scrutinized critically and outdated views and attitudes will be challenged vigorously.
Focus areas
- Accountability of government bodies, individuals and governments of rhino range states.
- Legalization of horn trade to flood markets, depress horn values and expose horn buyers.
- Restoration of confidence in conservation programs and Investment campaigns to favour public and private ownership.
- Transfer of responsible rhino ownership to impoverished rural African communities.
