In Indonesia BFR supports the remaining Javan Rhinos at Ujung Kulon National Park and the Sumatran Rhinos in Bukit Barisan Selatan and Way Kambas National Parks through the <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/bowling-for-rhinos/international-rhino-foundation-irf/">International Rhino Foundation</a>. BFR also supports <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/bowling-for-rhinos/action-for-cheetahs-in-kenya-ack/">Action for Cheetahs in Kenya</a>. 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. Many 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<h4>Chapter Totals</h4>\r\nIf your chapter would like to check their yearly totals you can do so <a href="http://flexlists.com/key/UoUJMn9eR794LYxcc9jnQzPY3fBSal1FgCoOrKS3" target="_blank">here</a>.\r\n<h4>Sponsorship Form</h4>\r\n<a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/sponsor_sheet1.pdf" target="_blank"><i class="icon-download"></i> Download Sponsorship Form</a>\r\n<h2>Bowling for Rhinos Awards - 2013</h2>\r\n<strong>Conservation Resource Grant</strong> RhiNOremedy\r\n<h3>Top Individual Fundraisers – Bowling for Rhinos 2013</h3>\r\n<strong>Mike Bona</strong> - Los Angeles Chapter, Lewa trip winner\r\n<strong>Ann Knutson</strong> - San Diego Chapter, Lewa trip winner\r\n<strong>Kenton Kerns</strong> - National Capital Chapter, Indonesia trip winner\r\nCrystal Butler - Oklahoma City Chapter, Indonesia trip winner\r\n<strong>Jim Haigwood</strong> - Los Angeles Chapter, Honorary trip winner\r\n<h3>Top Chapter Fundraiser - 2013</h3>\r\n<strong>Portland AAZK Chapter.</strong> Chapter Award[/membership]', 'Bowling for Rhinos', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '168-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-07-08 10:49:54', '2014-07-08 15:49:54', '', 168, 'https://www.aazk.org/168-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

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 Ngare Ndare Forest Reserve.\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\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. Lewa is home to both black and white rhinos and is first and foremost a rhino sanctuary. It is also home to roughly 15% of the world\'s population of the endangered Grevy\'s zebra. It is also home to over 70 different species of mammals and over 350 different species of birds. Among the types of mammals you will find on Lewa include: African lions, cheetahs, hyenas, leopards, elephants, wild dogs, a large variety of hoofed animals including the rare aquatic antelope, the sitatunga.\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n<img class="alignleft" title="Elephants" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_5948a-300x199.jpg" alt="Elephants" width="190" /> <img class="alignleft" title="Bird" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_4405a-300x189.jpg" alt="Bird" width="190" /> <img class="alignleft" title="Cheetah" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/img_6361a-300x199.jpg" alt="Cheetah" width="190" />\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n<h4>Community Development Programs</h4>\r\n<img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-1329 alignleft" title="Lewa Students" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/lewa_20100208_0052_students-150x150.jpg" alt="Lewa Students" width="150" height="150" /> Lewa Wildlife Conservancy engages in a very broad-based community development programs. They believe that the key to successful wildlife conservation lies in gaining the support of the local people that live around the Conservancy. With Lewa\'s success the communities surrounding Lewa directly benefit. LWC gives back to the communities through their community development programs. They operate three health clinics, support numerous schools, assist with neighboring community conservation schemes, help to develop sustainable water projects, adult literacy programs, and a women\'s micro-credit program to name a few.\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n<img class="alignleft" title="Lewa Community Farms" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/lewa_20100208_0095_manyangalocommunityfarms-300x214.jpg" alt="Lewa Community Farms" width="160" /> <img class="alignnone" title="Lewa Lunchline" src="http://aecetia.net/gws/aazk/wp-content/uploads/lewa_20100208_0082_lunchline-300x214.jpg" alt="Lewa Lunchline" width="160" />\r\n<div class="clear"></div>\r\n<strong>For more information on Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and its programs please visit their website at <a href="http://www.lewa.org">www.lewa.org</a>.\r\n</strong>\r\n<div id="inner-links"></div>', 'Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LWC)', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '991-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-07-08 10:53:50', '2014-07-08 15:53:50', '', 991, 'https://www.aazk.org/991-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

The intent of this maverick publication was to stimulate the AAZK membership to become more active and participate in the Association at a national level.\r\n\r\nThe idea for Animal Keepers\' Forum grew out of a bull session among keepers at the Topeka Zoo. The original Ruptured Rhino staff, along with several others, were involved in the conception and production of the<strong> first issue of AKF in November of 1974</strong>. It was 3 1/2 pages long, and printed on a mimeograph-type machine. Early issues contained zoo news articles, items on legislation and guest editorials.\r\n\r\nBy June of 1975 the AKF had grown to 13 pages and in November of 1975 celebrated its first anniversary of continuous publication. After the first two issues, it was sold on a subscription basis at $5.00 per year. Although originally the AKF was sold to AAZK members, it didn\'t become the "official" professional journal of the Association until March of 1975. The AKF has always carried the motto "Dedicated to Professional Animal Care".\r\n\r\nIn January 1976, AKF changed its format to a booklet style publication. In 1977 AKF had its first part-time paid editor and also began to be printed commercially. In 1978 the buff colored cover featuring artwork by keepers debuted. The first Excellence in Journalism Awards were given in 1979.\r\n\r\nIn 1981 Susan Chan was hired as Managing Editor for Animal Keepers’ Forum. The AKF has continued to grow in scope and content since that time, now averaging 44 pages per issue.  At least once a year, an issue dedicated to a particular species or topic is produced. AKF contains regular columns on Animal Behavior, Enrichment Options, Crisis Management and legislative issues affecting wildlife and zoos. Each issue also contains articles on animal husbandry, book reviews, a listing of upcoming conferences and symposia and Association news.\r\n\r\nThe Animal Keepers\' Forum has come a long way since its inception when it was printed on a mimeograph machine to today when it is produced with modern desktop publishing computer equipment. It currently reaches approximately <strong>2800 members (including about 150 zoos) in the U.S., Canada and 24 foreign countries</strong>.\r\n\r\nAnimal Keepers’ Forum is celebrating its 40th anniversary of continuous publication this year (2013).\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n<h4>Submissions</h4>\r\nIf you are interested in submitting a paper for publication Animal Keepers’ Forum, please view the <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/publications/animal-keepers-forum/akf-submission-guidelines/">AKF Submission Guidelines</a> page for guidelines on how to submit your article.\r\n<div class="hr"></div>\r\n<h4>Purchase a copy</h4>\r\nTo purchase a hard copy of the Animal Keepers’ Forum publication, please visit our <a href="http://www.aecetia.net/gws/aazk/shop/">store</a>.', 'Animal Keepers\' Forum', 0, '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4538-revision-v1', '', '', '2014-07-08 11:02:58', '2014-07-08 16:02:58', '', 4538, 'https://www.aazk.org/4538-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;
