Since 2001, Cathy has been CEO of Save the Rhino International, a UK-registered charity working to conserve viable populations of the five species of rhino in Africa and Asia. Cathy and her team raise funds for long-term rhino programmes, as well as one-off projects, e.g. workshops or training courses. Save the Rhino also works with NGOs in Vietnam and China to deliver behaviour-change campaigns aimed at reducing the demand for illegal rhino horn.
Cathy’s particular remit is to liaise with field programmes to determine priority needs and then build collaborative partnerships to piece together the financing needed to implement rhino conservation strategies. She is a Member of the IUCN SSC African and Asian Rhino Specialist Groups and won the IUCN Harry Messel Award for Conservation Leadership in 2015. She has run seven marathons and three ultra-marathons to raise funds for rhino conservation. Enjoy💚
