The TCU Rhino Run About the TCU Rhino Initiative

Transcription

1 The TCU Rhino Run The TCU Rhino Run is a community outreach project to raise awareness and funds to support the TCU Rhino Initiative. The 5K and Kids 1K will start and end in Frog Alley at the Amon G Carter Stadium with the race course running through the adjacent community back to TCU. A post race celebration will take place in Frog Alley to support the runners, spectators, and sponsors of the event. About the TCU Rhino Initiative The TCU Rhino Initiative was launched in April 2014 by Dr. Mike Slattery, director of the Institute for Environmental Studies. TCU teamed up with Dr. Will Fowlds, renowned South African wildlife vet and rhino conservationist, to help save the rhino and ensure its long-term survival. In South Africa, rhino are being brutally poached at a rate over three per day. We stand ready to help on several fronts, from organizing reduction demand campaigns and raising public awareness, to supporting protection and rescue initiatives on the ground, where poached rhinos can be rehabilitated and eventually function again in wild habitats. We also send TCU students to South Africa as part of our Biodiversity and Human Development study abroad course.
