Following the success of last year we are once again hosting our Run for Nature! This year it will take place on Sunday 22 September .

Here at Chester Zoo, a key element of our conservation work is saving the rhino from extinction, both here at our Chester hub and around the world.  This year, with Run for Nature taking place on World Rhino Day, we’re raising money for this vital work to protect this incredible animal.

 The two species of rhino that we are working to protect are both at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and poaching.  With numbers incredibly low across the globe, our science team  have developed groundbreaking techniques to help boost populations.  This work is now being rolled out around the world, including through our new lab in Kenya to help this magnificent animal thrive in the future.

 We need your support to continue this vital work and help us bring rhinos back from the brink of extinction.
