It’s hard to believe that the year is already half way gone!  I am ahead of schedule on my miles for the year, with >2800 miles logged year to date. We are in the midst of kicking of a massive project in South Africa, with a major focus on rehabilitation of the land, removal of fences and other physical boundaries, removal of damns, and replanting of native plants, all in a effort to reopen the historic migration routes for all the animals that once considered these lands to be their home.
It’s an incredibly multi faceted project that spans across chunks of land that are absolutely huge. The Helpingrhinos Rhino Strongholds is a major portion of the work, and tons of other plants and animals will eventually benefit from the project.
2021 is proving to be another challenging year in regards to raising much needed funds to keep our very important projects and partner organizations alive. The continued downturn in tourism makes our fundraising more important than ever before.
Please take a minute to check out all of our current projects at Helpingrhinos.org and pedalingagainstpoaching.com
Cheers for now, keep the pedals turning!

As 2020 ends, and 2021 begins, we are doing our very best to remain positive and committed to the Pedaling Against Poaching project.

I have logged more than 700 miles on the bike year to date, and I am on track for my goal of >5000 miles for the year. Fundraising has been a challenge this past year, and I have been working on ways to get creative.

A small group of like minded mountain bikers decided to dig out all of the spare bike parts that they have laying around the garage, and we auctioned them all off online, and 100% of the sales were rolled into a donation that I processed through this GlobalGiving account. it was a much needed spike, and much appreciated by the folks that are working so hard on the ground, protecting, and caring for these amazing Rhinos.

Remember, that every dollar helps. Please give if you can, and make sure to spread the word. updates to follow will have a focus on the 2021 stats from the field.

We are all experiencing difficult times, globally right now. Pedaling Against Poaching is dedicated to push forward through the choppy waters. Although fundraising has been tough over the past few months, we have still seen some much needed movement from both new, and repeat loyal supporters. 

The wildlife of the world needs our help now, more than ever. Every last penny helps! A huge thank you to everyone for the support, it keeps me going!  2019 was a very positive year in the fight against rhino poaching, with a dramatic drop in the number of rhinos that were poached last year. 
We must not let off the gas! 
News: I am on track with my mileage goal for the year, with >2700 miles YTD. Arizona is heating up, well over 100 degrees each day for the summer, but the mornings are still beautiful for my rides. Can’t stop, won’t stop pedaling!
We also have some new t-shirt designs that are now available for purchase. Proceeds are all converted into a GlobalGiving donation. You can check them out on my Instagram @pedaling_against_poaching 
Please stay safe, stay healthy, and stay focused on working towards reducing the effects of the illicit wildlife trade around the world!!

Hello All, 
A lot has been happening behind the scenes in the first part of 2020. Pedaling against poaching and Helping Rhinos USA continue to pick up traction. 
One of the top goals for 2020 is to promote the education of children so that they can appreciate the many reasons that our wildlife is important, and so that they will then go and change the beliefs and behaviors of their parents! We will also teach them about the many ways that they can get involved to make a difference. 
Over the past month, Pedaling Against Poaching member, Dr. Cheryl Laite, a Veterinarian and Fire Fighter, has been working in the field in Australia in the wake of the horrible wildfires. Her hard work and sacrifice is just a glimpse into her passion for animals, and for our overall goals to make a difference in todays world.
She was fortunate enough to make a stop at the Zululand Rhino Orphanage before she returned to her home in Canada. She said that having an opportunity to finally meet the amazing team at Zululand in person was very special. 
An interview with Pedaling Against Poaching was featured on the Mother Natures Heroes website. It was a wonderful way to help spread the word. 
Keep on Riding for Rhinos!
