Rhinos

Raising funds and awareness for rhino and habitat conservation

Join the Fight to Save Rhinos

The American Association of Zoo Keepers (AAZK) invites you to support Bowling for Rhinos (BFR), a fundraising program that empowers animal keepers and communities to contribute directly to rhino and habitat conservation worldwide.

Why Bowling for Rhinos Matters

Every dollar raised through BFR helps fund essential conservation efforts, including:

  • Protecting Rhino Habitats: Supporting in situ programs in Asia and Africa.
  • Population Management: Preserving rhino species for future generations.

With 100% of proceeds going directly to conservation programs, your contribution makes a tangible difference.
