Acting for Rhinos’ is an exciting new project initiated
by Eden College Durban and members of the Durban Theatre community. It is aimed
at empowering South African and International school children as well as
theatre practitioners to assist Project Rhino KZN. Professional and school
based productions are an existing component of our rich South African culture.’
Acting for Rhinos ’provides the link between the Arts and Conservation. The
basic concept is to challenge schools and theatre companies to donate R1.00 of
each ticket sold of any performance staged. Creative projects can now make a
significant contribution to our Wildlife heritage.
The ‘Acting for Rhinos’ participants
will also be able to display the ‘Acting for Rhinos’ logo on their posters and
promotional material. Participants website addresses will be displayed on the
Acting for Rhino page of the Project Rhino KZN website. Regular updates will be
given on the webpage of who the contributors are and how the money is being
spent.
Project Rhino KZN (PRKZN) was established in 2011 by
the KwaZulu-Natal conservation community to bring together government, private
and civil society and create a province-wide, united front against rhino
poaching and other wildlife crime threats. It supports and extends the work of
KZN’s 16 leading conservation organisations and two associate members, with a
focus on both reactive and proactive needs and has entrenched an ethos of
collaboration and trust between state, private and civil society – something
that has not been achieved by any other province in South Africa.
If your school is interested in participating in this
worthwhile campaign, please contact
