The Zoo of Queensland proudly presents to you RHINO MAN. A film by Global Conservation Corps.
RHINO MAN follows the courageous field rangers who risk their lives in the anti-poaching war in Africa.
We follow Anton Mzimba, the head ranger of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, as he and his team battle to protect the rhinos. Anton faces long deployments away from family, dangerous working conditions, and constant threats to his life.
Nearby, a legendary trainer, Ruben de Kock, laments the loss of his best friend and business partner, as he and his wife, Marianne, struggle to take a group of 41 candidates through a rigorous ranger selection at the Southern African Wildlife College.
It’s a race to inspire the next generation to care for the rhinos and the natural world, before poachers and habitat loss wipe out one species after another. Greed, desperation, and violence are met with an even stronger set of forces. Those of love, dedication, and a willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice for a better future.
“RHINO MAN HIGHLIGHTS THE IMMENSE DEBT WE OWE TO RANGERS, THE TRUE HEROES IN OUR EFFORTS TO PROTECT THE WORLD'S WILDLIFE." - Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder The Jane Goodall Institute UN Messenger of Hope.
The Zoo of Queensland (The Urgent Priority Management Program Inc.) is an arising not-for-profit, conservation and educational organisation created in order to stop the current mass extinction, restore the world’s biodiversity and conserve the future.
