What is World Rhino Day?

World Rhino Day is celebrated every year on September 22nd. This special day is a global awareness initiative dedicated to the preservation of the world’s five rhino species, all of which are teetering on the brink of extinction. 

Rhino Day (and rhino month) is a chance for us to help spread awareness about the importance of saving rhinos and to show our support for our country’s much-needed anti-poaching operations.

Rhino Day Timeline

55 Million Years Ago
Rhinos first appear on earth. Originating in Asia and North America, our world is currently home to five living species of rhino.
1600's
The earliest documented cases of rhinoceros poaching are recorded during the colonial era when rhinos are hunted for sport, setting a troubling precedent.
1960 - 1990
A sharp and troubling increase in rhino poaching incidents occurs, primarily driven by the growing demand for rhino horns in various Asian countries. These decades witness a devastating onslaught against rhino populations.

Range Rules

  • 1. Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction, Away from people.
    Be muzzle conscious. Always know where the muzzle of the firearm is pointing. Never allow your firearm to point at people, even when it is unloaded.
  • 2. always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
    Because the firearm is designed to fit a human hand, your finger will instinctively go to the trigger. This is how most accidental discharges occur. You must make a conscious effort to keep your finger outside the trigger guard alongside the frame.
  • 3. Always Know Your Target and What is Beyond it.
    A handgun is capable of projecting a bullet for distances up to 2km's, and you are liable for where the bullet stops. Therefore, before firing a shot, you should know not only what your target is, but where the bullet will come to rest, too.
  • 4. Always Treat Firearms as if it were loaded.
    if you are always treating a firearm as if it were loaded, safe handling will become automatic and you will be demonstrating a responsible attitude to those around you.
