Hawaiian Wildlife
Join renowned conservationist Stephanie Arne on the beautiful Hawaiian Islands for an extraordinary opportunity. This exclusive, week-long adventure is designed for conservation enthusiasts and offers an unparalleled chance to make a tangible impact.
THE OPPORTUNITY
A key component is the involvement in African Parks’ (AP) momentous project to re-wild 2000 rhino over the next 10 years. After purchasing the world’s largest private rhino population in 2023, located on a farm in Klerksdorp, AP has committed to what is being hailed as the “biggest conservation project in the continent’s history”. The plan is to dehorn and re-wild these 2000 animals over the next ten years, to different homes around Africa, and we have been invited to take part in a stage of this special project.
