A Night for Rhino Conservation: $17,885.17 Raised for Our Partners in Zululand

 

April 24th 2025 | GCF News & Impact

 

On behalf of the entire Global Conservation Force team, we are thrilled to share the success of our latest fundraising event — a powerful evening dedicated to rhino conservation, education, and community impact.

Thanks to our incredible supporters, donors, volunteers, and team members, we raised an inspiring $17,885.17 in total support for our partners at Zululand Conservation Trust (ZCT) and Zululand Rhino Orphanage (ZRO).

  • $12,885.17 was raised directly through event night fundraising

  • $5,000 was contributed from Global Conservation Force’s program support funds

  • Total: $17,885.17 now on its way to the field

These funds will directly support the ongoing protection of rhinos in Manyoni Game Reserve, one of the leading private reserves in South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province. ZCT and ZRO are on the frontlines of conservation, providing long-term care for orphaned rhinos, supporting ranger teams, investing in local communities, and implementing innovative anti-poaching and monitoring efforts.

A Team Effort

 

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the GCF team, whose dedication and behind-the-scenes efforts made the evening smooth, seamless, and impactful. From coordinating merchandise and media, to guest support and logistics, each person played a crucial role in creating a memorable and meaningful experience for everyone who attended.

 

To our community of supporters — whether you’ve been with us for years or just discovered our mission — we thank you for standing with us. Your generosity makes a real, measurable impact on the ground.

 

Continuing the Story

 

We’re also proud to offer private, in-home viewing access to The Last Ranger, a moving documentary that captures the realities of wildlife protection in the field. Through a special agreement with filmmaker and GCF supporter David Lee, we are now able to provide exclusive access to this film as a way to continue rallying support and telling the story of those risking everything to protect endangered wildlife.
