Rhinoceros education

Dierenrijk

The state of the Indian rhinoceros

Peerdrops was able to realize various educational elements for a new Indian rhinos enclosure . The rhino is not doing well and through these objects you get knowledge of the reasons for this and tools to do something yourself.

For example, we made an object where the influence of humans in Asia, but also in the Netherlands is made visible, we learn about invasive plant species and we learn about other animals that live there, such as the Visaya Warthog and the Hog Deer.

1 Styrofoam ball represents 1 rhinoceros

In the enclosure itself, it has been made very tangible how things are going with the various types of rhinoceroses: We have filled tubes with balls of styrofoam. Each bubble represents 1 rhino. Some cartridges are almost empty ... So there's work to be done!

How are you going to lend a hand?

The various educational objects can be found along the routes in the park.

Spin the circles to learn more about these special animals.

It is clear from these tubes that the rhinoceros needs us.

Epilogue :)

Is it only doom and gloom then? Obviously not! Organizations such as the Wildlife Foundation offer many opportunities to help these species. We have also made a money spinner in which you can donate. This money is used directly for the conservation of these beautiful species.
