Cheetahs share much of the same habitat as rhinos and by working to conserve cheetahs we are also saving rhinos and the countless other species that call that habitat home.\r\n\r\nMany organizations participate in these events and have added the <em>Rocking For Rhinos</em>, <em>Rummage For Rhinos</em>, and <em>Recycling For Rhinos</em> projects as other ways to raise funds for this very worthwhile project.\r\n\r\nIf you have more questions about the Bowling for Rhinos event, please visit the <a href="[homeurl]/bowling-for-rhinos/bowling-for-rhinos-faq/">FAQ</a> page.\r\n\r\n<h4>Donate</h4>\r\nMake a donation for <em>Bowling for Rhinos</em> by clicking the link below. \r\n\r\n<div class="first sixcol">\r\n<p align="center"><h6>Total Funds Raised to Date:</h6>\r\n<strong>$4,321,808.48</strong></p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class="last sixcol">\r\n<p align="center"><h6>2012 Funds Raised:</h6>\r\n<strong>$337,191.09</strong>\r\n<em> - this is a new record for amount raised in a year!</em></p>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n\r\n<a href="[homeurl]/bowling-for-rhinos/bfr-donation/" class="button">Make a donation</a>', 'Bowling for Rhinos', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '168-revision-v1', '', '', '2013-10-23 15:38:58', '2013-10-23 20:38:58', '', 168, 'http://web3.gowebsolutions.com/~aazook/uncategorized/168-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

Over 60 AAZK chapters participate  throughout the US and Canada raising between $200,000- $300,000 annually. But our goal is raise $500,000 annually. BFR funds support LWC- Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (formerly called Ngare Sergoi  rhino sanctuary) in Kenya, Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia  and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP)and Way Kambas in  Sumatra.  These sanctuaries not only save rhinos but also these entire  ecosystems!\r\n\r\n<h4>Why save Rhinos?</h4>\r\n<strong><big>A:</big></strong> Rhinos have lived on earth for over 50 million years but whether they  survive even 50 more years is open to speculation. Only 5 species of<img class="size-medium wp-image-1312 alignright" title="extinct_rhino" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/extinct_rhino-300x200.jpg" alt="extinct_rhino" width="300" height="200" /> rhino exist today when once there were over 100 species.  All 5 species- the white, black, greater one-horned, Sumatran and Javan are endangered.  Only the  white rhino with a population of 4,600 seems to be somewhat safe from  extinction.  In 1960, 60,000 black rhinos roamed Africa. Today only  2,500 remain in isolated populations.  On the Asian continent, the greater one-horned population remains at 2,000. The Sumatran species numbers around 200 and the Javan species has fewer than 60 animals.\r\n\r\nThe black rhino is a symbol of conservation in Africa as our bald eagle  is to those of us in the United States. If the black rhino were to go extinct what message would we give our children?  The rhino is a large, flagship species.  By striving to save the rhino, we save large expanses of habitat.  By saving these habitats, we are saving many endangered  species, not just the rhino.\r\n\r\nThe rhino is our link to the dinosaurs as it has lived on earth over 50  million years but it can not survive guns and man.  The rhino is  killed for its horn to be used in oriental medicines and as symbolic dagger handles.

BFR helps preserve  the black and white rhino in Africa and the Javan and Sumatran rhino in  Indonesia. <img class="size-medium wp-image-1443 alignright" title="img_5337" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_5337-300x200.jpg" alt="img_5337" width="210" height="140" />\r\n\r\nIn 1994, "BFR" expanded their funding efforts to include Ujung Kulon.  This is a 300 square mile National Park on the island of Java  (Indonesia) which is home to some of the rarest animals on earth!  Ujung  Kulon supports the last 47 Javan rhinos in the world (with a few  discovered in Viet Nam), 40 species of mammals, 250 species of birds,  many rare amphibians and reptiles including the green sea turtle. In  fact, Java is home to one eighth of the world\'s mammals, birds, reptile,  amphibian and plant species although it only occupies one percent of  the globes land surface!\r\n\r\nIn 1997, "BFR" again expanded their funding efforts to include Bukit  Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP). This is a 3,568 square km  protected area on the southwest side of the island of Sumatra. Asian  elephant, tiger, clouded leopard, Malayan sun bear, Indian wild dog and a  substantial number of the estimated 200 Sumatran rhinos live within  this park. $25,000 / year is needed at BBSNP  to provide additional  patrol stations, <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1445" title="sumatranrhino" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/sumatranrhino-300x199.jpg" alt="sumatranrhino" width="240" height="159" />patrol equipment and training of park guards in anti-  poaching skills.\r\n\r\nThere is now an Indonesian Rhino Conservation program (IRCP) that  includes all parks with rhino populations. This program will allow  funding to be used on top priority needs in top priority locations to  conserve wildlife. BFR is part of this program. This allows unused  funding in any given year to go through IRCP to be reallocated to these  top priority locations. This allows BFR to expand funding to include  such places as Way Kambas (Eastern Sumatra) that has a large population  of Sumatran rhinos. Way Kambas has the 3rd or 4th largest population of  Sumatran rhinos in the world and is a crucial nucleus for the survival  and recovery of this species. Currently, the best use of and greatest  need for the BFR funds is to be used to establish more anti-poaching  teams in Way Kambas.\r\n\r\nOur first $160,000 raised each year goes to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy(LWC). 50% of the monies raised over that amount are sent to the International Rhino Foundation to help fund their Indonesian programs. 40% of the monies over $160,000 are sent to LWC and 8% is sent to Action for Cheetah in Kenya. The final 2% of monies raised over the $160,000 mark are then set aside for fund the <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/committee/bowling-for-rhinos/bowling-for-rhinos-conservation-resource-fund-grant/">BFR Conservation Resource Fund Grant </a>administered by the AAZK.\r\n\r\n<h4>Are donations to Bowling For Rhinos tax  deductible?</h4>\r\n<strong><big>A:</big></strong> Yes, BFR is covered under AAZK\'s tax # 23-7274856 as a 501  (c)(3) organization.

BFR funds support LWC- Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (formerly called Ngare Sergoi rhino sanctuary) in Kenya, Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP)and Way Kambas in  Sumatra. These sanctuaries not only save rhinos but also these entire ecosystems!\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Why save Rhinos?</h4>\r\nRhinos have lived on earth for over 50 million years but whether they  survive even 50 more years is open to speculation. Only 5 species of <img class="alignright" title="extinct_rhino" src="[homeurl]/wp-content/uploads/extinct_rhino-300x200.jpg" alt="extinct_rhino" width="300" height="200" /> rhino exist today when once there were over 100 species.  All 5 species- the white, black, greater one-horned, Sumatran and Javan are endangered.  Only the  white rhino with a population of 4,600 seems to be somewhat safe from  extinction.  In 1960, 60,000 black rhinos roamed Africa. Today only  2,500 remain in isolated populations.  On the Asian continent, the greater one-horned population remains at 2,000. The Sumatran species numbers around 200 and the Javan species has fewer than 60 animals.\r\n\r\nThe black rhino is a symbol of conservation in Africa as our bald eagle  is to those of us in the United States. If the black rhino were to go extinct what message would we give our children?  The rhino is a large, flagship species.  By striving to save the rhino, we save large expanses of habitat.  By saving these habitats, we are saving many endangered  species, not just the rhino.\r\n\r\nThe rhino is our link to the dinosaurs as it has lived on earth over 50  million years but it can not survive guns and man.  The rhino is  killed for its horn to be used in oriental medicines and as symbolic dagger handles.  So valuable is the horn to poachers that the rhino can not survive unless it is on protected sanctuaries such as LWC and the Indonesian parks.  "BFR"  money is used to fence in these areas, purchase planes and land rover vehicles to curtail poaching, translocate rhino into the sanctuaries/parks, purchase trip cameras for censusing, and salaries for anti-poaching security guards to name a few.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft" title="aazk-color-logo-c2a8" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/aazk-color-logo-c2a8.jpg" alt="aazk-color-logo-c2a8" width="56" height="68" />The black rhino is AAZK National\'s symbol and we believe we have an  obligation to save it and the other rhino species from extinction.  Through our efforts, we feel we can save valuable habitats and the animals living in their safe havens for future generations to enjoy.\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Where do Bowling For Rhinos Funds go?</h4>\r\n100% of all funds raised goes directly to in situ conservation projects, conserving four species of rhino, their habitats, and hundreds of other endangered plants and animals. BFR helps preserve the black and white rhino in Africa and the Javan and Sumatran rhino in Indonesia. <img class="size-medium wp-image-1443 alignright" title="img_5337" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_5337-300x200.jpg" alt="img_5337" width="210" height="140" />\r\n\r\nIn 1994, "BFR" expanded their funding efforts to include Ujung Kulon. This is a 300 square mile National Park on the island of Java  (Indonesia) which is home to some of the rarest animals on earth!  Ujung  Kulon supports the last 47 Javan rhinos in the world (with a few discovered in Viet Nam), 40 species of mammals, 250 species of birds,  many rare amphibians and reptiles including the green sea turtle. In fact, Java is home to one eighth of the world\'s mammals, birds, reptile, amphibian and plant species although it only occupies one percent of  the globes land surface!\r\n\r\nIn 1997, "BFR" again expanded their funding efforts to include Bukit  Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP). This is a 3,568 square km  protected area on the southwest side of the island of Sumatra. Asian  elephant, tiger, clouded leopard, Malayan sun bear, Indian wild dog and a  substantial number of the estimated 200 Sumatran rhinos live within  this park. $25,000 / year is needed at BBSNP  to provide additional  patrol stations, <img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1445" title="sumatranrhino" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/sumatranrhino-300x199.jpg" alt="sumatranrhino" width="240" height="159" />patrol equipment and training of park guards in anti-  poaching skills.\r\n\r\nThere is now an Indonesian Rhino Conservation program (IRCP) that  includes all parks with rhino populations. This program will allow  funding to be used on top priority needs in top priority locations to conserve wildlife. BFR is part of this program. This allows unused funding in any given year to go through IRCP to be reallocated to these  top priority locations. This allows BFR to expand funding to include such places as Way Kambas (Eastern Sumatra) that has a large population  of Sumatran rhinos. Way Kambas has the 3rd or 4th largest population of  Sumatran rhinos in the world and is a crucial nucleus for the survival and recovery of this species. Currently, the best use of and greatest  need for the BFR funds is to be used to establish more anti-poaching teams in Way Kambas.\r\n\r\nOur first $160,000 raised each year goes to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy(LWC). 50% of the monies raised over that amount are sent to the International Rhino Foundation to help fund their Indonesian programs. 40% of the monies over $160,000 are sent to LWC and 8% is sent to Action for Cheetah in Kenya. The final 2% of monies raised over the $160,000 mark are then set aside for fund the <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/committee/bowling-for-rhinos/bowling-for-rhinos-conservation-resource-fund-grant/">BFR Conservation Resource Fund Grant </a>administered by the AAZK.\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Are donations to Bowling For Rhinos tax deductible?</h4>\r\nYes, BFR is covered under AAZK\'s tax # 23-7274856 as a 501 (c)(3) organization.

BFR saves rhino habitat so it saves everything from orchids to sea turtles to elephants. In fact, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya has more elephants (300) than rhino (80).

INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (3405, 1, '2013-10-23 17:13:39', '2013-10-23 22:13:39', '<h4>What is "Bowling For Rhinos"?</h4>\r\n<img class="alignleft" src="[homeurl]/wp-content/uploads/bfr_logo_497x497-150x150.jpg" width="90" height="90" /> Each year the American Association of Zoo keepers (AAZK) sponsors a fund raising bowl-a-thon called "Bowling For Rhinos" (BFR). Over 60 AAZK chapters participate throughout the US and Canada raising between $200,000- $300,000 annually. But our goal is raise $500,000 annually. BFR funds support LWC- Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (formerly called Ngare Sergoi rhino sanctuary) in Kenya, Ujung Kulon National Park in Java, Indonesia and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP)and Way Kambas in  Sumatra. These sanctuaries not only save rhinos but also these entire ecosystems!\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Why save Rhinos?</h4>\r\n<img class="alignright" title="extinct_rhino" src="[homeurl]/wp-content/uploads/extinct_rhino-300x200.jpg" alt="extinct_rhino" width="150" /> Rhinos have lived on earth for over 50 million years but whether they  survive even 50 more years is open to speculation. Only 5 species of rhino exist today when once there were over 100 species.  All 5 species- the white, black, greater one-horned, Sumatran and Javan are endangered.  Only the  white rhino with a population of 4,600 seems to be somewhat safe from  extinction.  In 1960, 60,000 black rhinos roamed Africa. Today only  2,500 remain in isolated populations.  On the Asian continent, the greater one-horned population remains at 2,000. The Sumatran species numbers around 200 and the Javan species has fewer than 60 animals.\r\n\r\nThe black rhino is a symbol of conservation in Africa as our bald eagle is to those of us in the United States. If the black rhino were to go extinct what message would we give our children? The rhino is a large, flagship species. By striving to save the rhino, we save large expanses of habitat. By saving these habitats, we are saving many endangered  species, not just the rhino.\r\n\r\nThe rhino is our link to the dinosaurs as it has lived on earth over 50  million years but it can not survive guns and man. The rhino is  killed for its horn to be used in oriental medicines and as symbolic dagger handles. So valuable is the horn to poachers that the rhino can not survive unless it is on protected sanctuaries such as LWC and the Indonesian parks. "BFR" money is used to fence in these areas, purchase planes and land rover vehicles to curtail poaching, translocate rhino into the sanctuaries/parks, purchase trip cameras for censusing, and salaries for anti-poaching security guards to name a few.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft" title="aazk-color-logo-c2a8" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/aazk-color-logo-c2a8.jpg" alt="aazk-color-logo-c2a8" width="56" height="68" />The black rhino is AAZK National\'s symbol and we believe we have an  obligation to save it and the other rhino species from extinction. Through our efforts, we feel we can save valuable habitats and the animals living in their safe havens for future generations to enjoy.\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Where do Bowling For Rhinos Funds go?</h4>\r\n<img class="size-medium wp-image-1443 alignleft" title="img_5337" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_5337-300x200.jpg" alt="img_5337" width="150" /> 100% of all funds raised goes directly to in situ conservation projects, conserving four species of rhino, their habitats, and hundreds of other endangered plants and animals. BFR helps preserve the black and white rhino in Africa and the Javan and Sumatran rhino in Indonesia. \r\n\r\nIn 1994, "BFR" expanded their funding efforts to include Ujung Kulon. This is a 300 square mile National Park on the island of Java (Indonesia) which is home to some of the rarest animals on earth! Ujung  Kulon supports the last 47 Javan rhinos in the world (with a few discovered in Viet Nam), 40 species of mammals, 250 species of birds,  many rare amphibians and reptiles including the green sea turtle. In fact, Java is home to one eighth of the world\'s mammals, birds, reptile, amphibian and plant species although it only occupies one percent of  the globes land surface!\r\n\r\n<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1445" title="sumatranrhino" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/sumatranrhino-300x199.jpg" alt="sumatranrhino" width="150" /> In 1997, "BFR" again expanded their funding efforts to include Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP). This is a 3,568 square km protected area on the southwest side of the island of Sumatra. Asian  elephant, tiger, clouded leopard, Malayan sun bear, Indian wild dog and a  substantial number of the estimated 200 Sumatran rhinos live within  this park. $25,000/ year is needed at BBSNP  to provide additional  patrol stations, patrol equipment and training of park guards in anti-  poaching skills.\r\n\r\nThere is now an Indonesian Rhino Conservation program (IRCP) that  includes all parks with rhino populations. This program will allow funding to be used on top priority needs in top priority locations to conserve wildlife. BFR is part of this program. This allows unused funding in any given year to go through IRCP to be reallocated to these top priority locations. This allows BFR to expand funding to include such places as Way Kambas (Eastern Sumatra) that has a large population of Sumatran rhinos. Way Kambas has the 3rd or 4th largest population of  Sumatran rhinos in the world and is a crucial nucleus for the survival and recovery of this species. Currently, the best use of and greatest need for the BFR funds is to be used to establish more anti-poaching teams in Way Kambas.\r\n\r\nOur first $160,000 raised each year goes to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy(LWC). 50% of the monies raised over that amount are sent to the International Rhino Foundation to help fund their Indonesian programs. 40% of the monies over $160,000 are sent to LWC and 8% is sent to Action for Cheetah in Kenya. The final 2% of monies raised over the $160,000 mark are then set aside for fund the <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/committee/bowling-for-rhinos/bowling-for-rhinos-conservation-resource-fund-grant/">BFR Conservation Resource Fund Grant</a> administered by the AAZK.\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Are donations to Bowling For Rhinos tax deductible?</h4>\r\nYes, BFR is covered under AAZK\'s tax # 23-7274856 as a 501 (c)(3) organization. Also, remember to check with your employer to see if they have a matching gift program as an easy way to double your donation.\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>How can I help?</h4>\r\nYou can help by participating in your local AAZK Chapter\'s Bowling For Rhinos fundraiser or by donating to someone who is. <a href="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/links/aazk-local-chapters">Click here</a> to locate a chapter nearest you. You can then contact that chapter to see if they are hosting an event.\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Do you need to be an AAZK member to bowl?</h4>\r\n<strong>No.</strong> Anyone can join the bowl-a-thon and have fun.\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>How many chapters participate?</h4>\r\nApproximately 60 chapters participate each year with about 55 events (some bowl together) in U.S. and Canada.\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Why not bowl for a different animal each year?</h4>\r\nIt takes about 5 years for a fund raiser to take hold where the public looks forward to it so it is important to keep the name the same. BFR saves rhino habitat so it saves everything from orchids to sea turtles to elephants. In fact, Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya has more elephants (300) than rhino (80). BFR also saves cheetah, Grevy\'s zebra, Sumatran tigers, Malayan sun bears and tapirs, Javan gibbons and the coral reefs, just to name a few.\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Where can I get more information?</h4>\r\nHopefully, you can find most of what you\'re looking for on our website.

It  now encompasses over 62,000 acres (250 sq. km.). The Craig/Douglas family first came to Lewa in 1922 and managed it as a cattle ranch for over 50 years. Unlike other ranchers in the area, they always valued the wildlife that shared the land and developed wildlife tourism as an additional activity. It was clear by the 1980\'s that the black rhino was unlikely to survive in northern Kenya. Poaching had reduced the black rhino\'s numbers from an estimated 20,000 animals in the mid-1970\'s to a few hundred by 1986. In 1983 the Craigs and Anna Merz - who funded the program - decided to establish the fenced and guarded Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary at the western end of Lewa. White rhinos were then added to the program after the black rhinos had settled down and established themselves. After ten years, it was clear that the rhinos needed more space, and the sanctuary was expanded to cover the rest of the ranch, and the adjoining <span class="kawatextlinks">Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve</span>. \n<div class="clear"></div>\n\n<div class="hr"></div>\n\n<h4>Wildlife on Lewa</h4>\n<img class="alignleft" title="Zebra" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_3593a-272x300.jpg" alt="Zebra" width="160"/> There is an abundance of wildlife on LWC.

It  now encompasses over 62,000 acres (250 sq. km.). The Craig/Douglas family first came to Lewa in 1922 and managed it as a cattle ranch for over 50 years. Unlike other ranchers in the area, they always valued the wildlife that shared the land and developed wildlife tourism as an additional activity. It was clear by the 1980\'s that the black rhino was unlikely to survive in northern Kenya. Poaching had reduced the black rhino\'s numbers from an estimated 20,000 animals in the mid-1970\'s to a few hundred by 1986. In 1983 the Craigs and Anna Merz - who funded the program - decided to establish the fenced and guarded Ngare Sergoi Rhino Sanctuary at the western end of Lewa. White rhinos were then added to the program after the black rhinos had settled down and established themselves. After ten years, it was clear that the rhinos needed more space, and the sanctuary was expanded to cover the rest of the ranch, and the adjoining <span class="kawatextlinks">Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve</span>. <img class="alignleft" title="Rhino" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_4434a-250x300.jpg" alt="Rhino" width="160" />\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n\r\n<h4>Wildlife on Lewa</h4>\r\n<img class="alignleft" title="Zebra" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_3593a-272x300.jpg" alt="Zebra" width="160"/> There is an abundance of wildlife on LWC.

Two area chiefs also attended the workshop.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft" title="cheetah collar" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/cheetah_collar-275x300.jpg" alt="cheetah collar" width="180" /> While 85% of the people interviewed at the dips in the months of  August - December 2009 felt that the current management of the dips is sustainable, they also felt that the managment had more improvements to make. 98% of the interviewed people stated that the impact of cheetah conservation in the area had a positive effect on the community in terms of the sustainability and in the awareness about the environment.\r\n\r\nACK also actively works at understanding how cheetahs share the land with humans in developed areas. To that end they have collared cheetahs to study their movement patterns. The collar sends the cheetah\'s location to ACK regularly via SMS messaging.\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n\r\n<strong>For more information on Action for Cheetahs in Kenya and its programs please visit their website at <a href="http://www.actionforcheetahs.org/" target="_blank">www.actionforcheetahs.org</a>.</strong>\r\n\r\n<div id="inner-links"></div>', 'Action for Cheetahs in Kenya (ACK)', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '1385-revision-v1', '', '', '2013-10-24 13:10:16', '2013-10-24 18:10:16', '', 1385, 'http://web3.gowebsolutions.com/~aazook/uncategorized/1385-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;
