Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Bowling for Rhinos
Since BFR began in 1990, AAZK San Diego Chapter has been an enthusiastic yearly participant.
100% of all proceeds raised during this event go directly to rhino conservation projects. This includes conserving rhinos, their habitats, and hundreds of other endangered plants and animals in Africa and Asia. BFR contributes to the International Rhino Foundation (IRF) and Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LWC) in Kenya as well as Action for Cheetahs in Kenya.
In Africa, there are only 5,500 black rhinos in isolated populations, 20,405 southern white rhinos, and only 3 (yes, only 3) northern white rhinos.
In Asia, there are just over 3,000 greater one horned rhinos, less than 100 Javan rhinos, and fewer than 60 Javan rhinos in existence. Poaching and habitat loss have caused rhino numbers to decline dramatically (over 90%) since 1970.
Rhinos need our help and it is through Bowling for Rhinos that we are able to raise funds to protect them and educate the general public regarding their status and needs.
Beers For A Porpoise
Fundraiser designed to bring funding and awareness to San Diego Zoo Global's Ridge to Reef Initiative. This program is an innovative community-based conservation project aimed at furthering education and conservation programs in NW Mexico and saving the vaquita porpoise from the brink of extinctiion.
CroctoberFest
CroctoberFest is a annual fundraising event that raises awareness and funding for crocodilian research and conservation. AAZK San Diego works in conjunction with the Crocodilian Advisory Group (CAG) and the San Diego Zoo's Reptile Department to promote conservation for endangered crocodilian species.
