These young calves grow up to be one of the tiniest rhino species on Earth, and one of the most vulnerable. Sumatran rhinos are on the very brink of extinction as their habitat has been nearly wiped out. Every baby rhino born is a cause for celebration and renewed hope, but the odds are stacked against this species unless we act quickly. It’s not too late to help save the Sumatran rhino. In honor of World Rhino Day on September 22, make a symbolic gift of $9.22 or more, and it will be matched 3x by a generous donor. One hundred percent of your gift will go toward protecting Sumatran rhinos. The poaching industry has devastated rhino populations. Sumatran rhinos are one of two rhino species that have the unique distinction of having two horns, and it’s these crowning features that put these animals in so much danger. As their numbers dwindle, it’s harder and harder for adult rhinos to find a mate. Over the last two decades, the population of Sumatran rhinos has declined by 70 percent, leaving fewer than 80 rhinos remaining in the world. To say Sumatran rhinos are endangered is an extreme understatement. Unless we act fast, these shy, gentle forest animals will be gone in our lifetime. That’s why the National Geographic Society helped found Sumatran Rhino Rescue, an alliance of international NGOs working with the Indonesian government to save the rhinos from extinction. By establishing protected sanctuaries and relocating isolated populations to encourage breeding, our goal is to help bring this unique creature back from the edge of extinction. You can help: Make a World Rhino Day gift of $9.22 or more to the National Geographic Society’s Sumatran Rhino Rescue Fund. Your gift will go THREE TIMES AS FAR to support critical programs aimed at boosting the rhinos’ numbers, thanks to a special match. September 22 is World Rhino Day, and in honor of these incredible creatures, we’re asking our dedicated wildlife community to step up. And for the next few days, when you make a gift for rhinos, it will be MATCHED three times over! Make a matched gift of $9.22 or more in honor of World Rhino Day before midnight 9/22. Thank you for committing to help our most vulnerable wildlife. Time couldn’t be more critical.
