Global Ambassadors Programme
Increasing threats to Kenya’s critical forest ecosystems and their wildlife require corresponding conservation interventions. As a key player in Kenya’s conservation arena, we continue to maintain our legacy programmes while developing innovative solutions to emerging challenges facing Kenya’s important forests. The Rhino Ark’s Global Ambassador Programme is an important pillar of our international resource mobilization strategy
The goal of the Global Ambassadors is to promote Rhino Ark Kenya Charitable Trust overseas by raising awareness and funds towards the conservation work of the Charity.
