WEEK ACTIVITIES RHINOWEEK
24/7 RHINOWATCH
Isn’t it bizarre that every rhino, whether in the wild, in a zoo or in a museum, dead or alive, is endangered? The horn, made of creatine, just like our nails and hair, is heavily sought after in Asia as a symbol of status and wealth. It is used for making jewellery and very often as a stimulant for human consumption.
JUSTICE DAY
Can you imagine… A kilo of rhino horn is worth more than a kilo of gold or even cocaine. Grind it into powder, put a sticker on it that reads ‘Cookie Ingredients’ and add some cinnamon. Scanners and drug dogs will not be able to stop you and you can easily pass customs with a big smile on your face! So how do we stop these criminals, these gangs? How do we stop this complete idiots to extinct primordial animal species without scruples?
WNF RANGERS DAY
During the RhinoWeek 2017 in Amsterdam there is a special program for the World Wildlife Fund’s Rangers on Wednesday 11th October. At 10:00 hours and 14:00 hours three special guests will give a presentation.
