The African Rhino Specialist Group (AfRSG) is a primarily volunteer-led group of experts focused on improving the conservation success of Africa’s rhinos across all their remaining Range States and beyond.[1] This Specialist Group is one of many such groups established under the directive of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Species Survival Commission (SSC).[1]
The African Rhino Specialist Group mission is to promote the development and long-term maintenance of viable populations of the various sub-species of African rhinos in the wild.[2] They identify and address threats to African Rhino species as well as identifying opportunities for conservation.[2] The group works with all African countries in which rhinos are found and have in-country representatives including Angola, Botswana, Chad, DR Congo, Eswatini, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.[1]
