Dear International Rhino Foundation,
My name is Naimeesh Mistry, and i am currently a student at Scotch College, Perth.
I have been assigned a project to create.
I have chosen to research, design, and create an Artificial Rhino Horn.
I would like to get some background information on the dimensions, weight, and materials of an Artificial Rhino Horn.
Yours Truly,
Naimeesh Mistry
This may seem far fetched, but would it be possible to make tissue cultures of rhino horns (and elephant for that matter) so as to reduce interest and cost of the different products poached from live animals? Has this been looked into
Dear Susie,
I have tried several times to email you, without any response and I do not know if my emails are getting through to you. When you were in Botswana, I guess in 2011, you expressed interest in our wildlife photographic and poetry project. Now that the book is going into printing, we would like to know if you are interested in having us put the IRF name and contact details on one of the photographic pages dedicated to the rhino? If so, please would you grant permission on the email details given with this reply.
Hello,

I need an up to date map of where Rhinos live for my son’s animal report. He is 5 yrs old and thinks rhinos are cool.
