Save the Rhino
For more than 20 years, RHINO Stationery has been a proud partner of Save the Rhino International, making a significant impact in rhino conservation with over £150,000 in donations. And we owe it all to you, our incredible supporters!
Our journey began in 2006, when Victor Stationery’s Carey McClay teamed up with Save the Rhino to print their logo on the back of every exercise book we produced, aiming to raise awareness among teachers and children. With your support, we've contributed to Save the Rhino's mission, raising funds and awareness for their vital conservation projects.
Join us on this journey to help protect rhinos and create a world where they thrive freely and safely. Thank you for being part of this incredible cause!
Jo Shaw, CEO of Save the Rhino International says:
“Collaboration is at the heart of rhino conservation. For 20 years our partners at Victor Stationery have stood with us on our mission to see all five rhino species thrive in the wild. They have brought rhinos into classrooms across the UK and Ireland and backed the vital work of Save the Rhino International all over the world. A special thank you, from our team to Victor’s, for a partnership that has made a lasting difference for rhinos, people and the planet.”

Who are Save the Rhino International?
Established in 1994, Save the Rhino International is a trusted charity dedicated to conserving all five rhino species across Africa and Asia. By tackling the illegal wildlife trade and directing funding and resources to where they're needed most, Save the Rhino is at the forefront of efforts to protect rhinos and their landscapes.
It all started back in the 1970s when a terrible poaching epidemic struck, posing a severe threat to the black rhino populations. That's where Dave Stirling and Johnny Roberts stepped in. Inspired and filled with determination after their adventure across Africa, they decided to make a real difference.
In 1992, they hit the ground running (quite literally!) by participating in the London Marathon to raise funds. But that was just the beginning of their creative and exciting fundraising journey. And on 28th February 1994, the dream became official and Save the Rhino International was born.
Since then, they have achieved some incredible milestones, raising over £30m for programme support to date, and moving forward with their mission to conserve rhino populations.
Why are Rhinos Under Threat?
Rhinos are one of the world's most iconic animals and an ecological keystone species, but today they're facing two huge threats; poaching and habitat loss.
Today, three of the five species – Javan, Sumatran and Black rhino – are at extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
Save the Rhino supports and connects partners across the globe, strengthening anti-poaching initiatives and disrupting the organised crime networks driving the illegal wildlife trade. They also work to build the resilience of critical rhino habitats and tackle the growing issue of habitat loss and limitations.
The benefits of their work extend far beyond rhinos. Because when rhinos thrive, so do the people and wildlife who live alongside them.

A Message from RHINO Stationery's CEO
Our long-standing and collaborative partnership has helped support Save the Rhino in their fantastic work in championing rhino conservation. Despite a reduction of poaching in the late 1990s and early 2000s, today on average, one rhino is poached every 10 hours. As owners of the RHINO brand, we believe that it is part of our duty to raise awareness of the devastating effects of poaching rhinos. Save the Rhino not only focuses on reducing poaching but also securing sufficient space to boost population numbers in the future. Every RHINO branded exercise book, notebook, pad, and flipchart pad purchased by a consumer helps that goal.
