GBAAZK has raised more than $60,000 for BFR in the past two decades, contributing towards BFR's total of more than seven million dollars since its start in 1991! The AAZK’s Bowling for Rhinos provides zoo keepers of the world with an avenue to raise funds and awareness for rhino and habitat conservation. By supporting GBBAZK and BFR - you're saving rhinos, elephants, cheetah, plants, corals, and more!
What does BFR support?
In Kenya, Africa, BFR supports the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy where our donations help protect both black and white rhinos and most of the other species native to East Africa.
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 International Rhino Foundation.
BFR also supports Action for Cheetahs in Kenya. 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.
