WWF

Being that i'm an online campaigner with WWF. I have adopted and now will sponsor a Black Rhino from Kenya (in the Nairobi National Park), called Kinyanjui. It is an honour to help assist in the protection of his ntural habitat and from poachers.

So you too can help endangered animals, that face extinction by sponsoring one or making a one off contribution, every little penny counts. It's not how much you give, but what you can afford goes a long way.

Info on Black Rhinoceros

* The black rhino is a herbivore & has a narrow, hook-lipped mouth for browsing on shrubs & bushes.

*They have 2 horns made from keratin, which is the same protein that makes up human hair & nails.

* Black rhinos can charge at 40 miles per hour.

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international non-governmental organization for the conversation, research & restoration of the natural environment, formerly named the World Wildlife Fund, which remains its official name in the US & Canada. It is the world's largest independent conservation organisation with over 5 million supporters worldwide, working in more than 90 countries, supporting 15,000 conservation and environmental projects around the world. It is a charity, with approximately 90% of its funding coming from voluntary donations by private individuals and businesses.

The group says its mission is "to halt and reverse the destruction of our natural environment". Currently, much of its work focuses on the conservation of three biomes (ecosystems) that contain most of the world's biodiversity: forests, freshwater ecosystems, and oceans & coasts. Among other issues, it is also concerned with endangered species, pollution & climate change. The organization runs more than 1,200 field projects worldwide in any given year.
