Care for Wild: Social, Ecological, and Government Interdependence within Rhino Conservation

內容大綱
In February 2023, the Care for Wild founder and her team were planning for the future of their organization. Care for Wild had recently received a request from a potential international donor to outline the interdependencies for the social, ecological, and organizational aspects of the operation to determine how funding could help strengthen these areas. Care for Wild was a not-for-profit rhinoceros sanctuary based in South Africa that was facing various challenges and opportunities. Over the course of the organization’s first 12 years, Care for Wild had been committed to helping rescue and rehabilitate injured and orphaned rhinos, a species that was at threat of extinction. The founder was aware that a healthy and holistic system approach was needed for Care for Wild’s future. She was now tasked with articulating the complexities and interdependencies between these two areas. Her response to the potential donor’s request would also reinforce the importance of resilience within the organization’s socio-ecological environment.
