Endangered Means We Still Have Time But Extinction Is Forever

SMC —

On Monday 25 March we are incredibly fortunate to have Rhino Man, Grant Fowlds, coming to speak to Years 7 to 13. Grant is one of the leading conservationists, speakers, and consultants in Southern Africa, advocating with unlimited passion his love for the wild.

He pioneered a wildlife project called Amakhala Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape, South Africa and as an Ambassador for Project Rhino and speaker, he has spread the word around the world. He will relate his first-hand experience of growing up in a natural environment with the consequences of 21st-century greed for animals in the exploding demand in all forms of animal trafficking. He'll talk about the vast increase in rhino poaching in the last decade, where animals are in serious threat of extinction and discuss what needs to be done to protect these endangered species.
