SRT’s remarkable monitoring information provides an unrivalled opportunity to establish a deeper understanding about rhino biology and behavior. This is fundamental to their protection and helps maximize population growth.   We have also adopted a more interdisciplinary approach integrating ecological, social, psychological and policy science aspects into an applied research agenda.  Our research has guided rhino reintroduction efforts, responsible tourism protocols, ranger incentive schemes and community engagement strategies.
