San Antonio AAZK: Bowling for Rhinos Fundraising Event

Dear Friends of Conservation:

            In a continuing effort to help protect the last five remaining rhino species as well as other endangered species that occupy the same habitat (such as elephants, tigers, tapirs, bears, cheetahs, numerous birds and more), zoo keepers thoughout the country sponsor the national "Bowling for Rhinos" bowl-a-thon fundraiser.  All of the proceeds from these fundraisers go directly to the following conservation organizations in need of support:

• The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, which works as a catalyst for community-based conservation of wildlife and its habitat

• Action for Cheetahs, also in Kenya, a conservation organization that helps humans and cheetahs coexist in the same area

• Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, home to the last 76 Javan rhinos in the world
