Rhino Revolution UK Ltd. currently has six diverse Trustees, all people who are devoted to the cause of rhino conservation and committed to the development of Rhino Revolution UK Ltd. and its aims. Apart from attending and participating in the yearly meetings and AGM, they are continually working to support Rhino Revolution UK Ltd., as well as responsible for approving all funding requests, and ensuring our independence in decision making. All Trustees work pro bono for the Charity.
Coming from a range of backgrounds and experience the Trustees between them combine the required skills to ensure Rhino Revolution UK Ltd. (RR-UK) continues to develop and meet both their aims and regulatory requirements.
The Trustees are:
