Some fun rhino facts from new crowdfund project with 8 days remaining...Hey all...I realised I have been busy sharing all sorts of fun rhino facts on my new campaign page, which means only NEW backers and potential backers are seeing them and you have all been neglected. So I am attaching the links here in case you feel like perusing the updates. I started adding a rhino fact starting with the letter of the first initial of each new backer...I hope you enjoy. And please consider sharing with friends, family and colleagues who may be keen to throw a few coins in the pot as I have just one week left and still 63% left to raise...eek! The links to two recent lab notes follow:
J is for juvenile as we hit 20% on the scoreboard -  https://experiment.com/u/SLmkkQ 
Leaping ahead to 37% -  https://experiment.com/u/JcFzcA 
Fingers crossed I can make a success of this one as I did with your help early 2016! More progress soon, G

About This Project

How can we maintain rhino populations during poaching crises? A population genetics management study.

University of Pretoria

African rhinos are of great economic and ecological importance within their range states, but are threatened by poaching for their horns as Traditional medicine, ornaments and status symbols. Recent research has focussed on anti-poaching, dehorning and horn treatments as deterrents, with less interest paid to improving longterm management of these shrinking populations. This study aims to analyse behavioural, demographic and genetic patterns to compile a 'Genetic Metapopulation Management Plan'.
