The Mara River is the only river that has water all year round and is therefore the most important water reservoir for all animals that live there. Every summer, huge herds of animals migrate to this area in what is known as the ‘Great Migration’ during Tanzania’s three-month dry season.

This delicate ecosystem is at risk due to rapid population growth and extensive agricultural use. If the animals’ routes to their food sources are interrupted by busy traffic routes, commercial use and the appropriation of agricultural land, they become extinct and the ecosystem collapses.

Together with the Karlsruhe Zoo, RED RHINO wants to create important migration corridors for the animals and thus ensure their survival.

The harmony between the local population and nature must be preserved! In addition to land protection, this also requires extensive education of the local population. This is the only way to achieve sustainable, peaceful coexistence between the people who live there and nature.
Every kilo of RED RHINO Premium nuts purchased helps protect 1 m² of habitat for rhinos and other wildlife through our joint donation.
Our goal: 200,000 m² of protected living space per year – cracking nuts for a good cause.
In addition to strong population growth, the construction of new transport routes and extensive agriculture, the survival of large wild animals is still threatened by poaching. The coveted horn of elephants and rhinos is the cause of the painful deaths of many pachyderms. Existing conservation programs that train and fund game wardens and anti-poaching units, for example, require continued support. The same goes for educating the regional population and protecting animal migration corridors. The WWF and the Karlsruhe Zoo are therefore joining forces for a joint project.
