Bowling for Rhinos,

Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States

  • About the event

    The AAZK’s Bowling for Rhinos (BFR) provides zoo keepers of the world with an avenue to raise funds and awareness for rhino and habitat conservation.

    The beauty of the idea is that these fundraisers are organized by volunteers, who donate their time and organizational skills to help raise money to send directly to the places in need. Since all the people involved are volunteers, 100% of all donations are sent directly to these in situ rhino conservation areas!

    Why should you sponsor?

    In Kenya, Africa, BFR supports the Lewa Wildlife Conservancywhere 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.

    I am a zoo keeper at the Albuquerque BioPark Zoo and an officer of our local AAZK chapter (American Association of Zookeepers).  Although I am relatively new to the ABQ area, this will be my second Bowling for Rhinos event here and my 6th BFR event in total, as I have been an organizer at 2 other zoo locations.  This conservation effort is very important to me and I am very motivated to hold this event yearly with extremely high expectations for each event!!
