HELP Dylan SAVE Rhinos from Rhino Chasers!

Hi, I'm Dylan and I'm 10 years old. When I heard a National Geographic podcast about rhino poaching, I was so sad and knew I had to do something to help save them. I want to raise money to donate to organizations that are hard at work to stop rhino poaching and a t-shirt seemed like a good way to spread awareness. The idea of a rhino on a surfboard came about when I called poachers "Rhino Chasers" and my dad, who is a surfer, said that "Rhino Chaser" was a term used for a giant surfboard.

Please watch my video.

The beautiful rhinos are being poached at alarming rates. Please buy a t-shirt or tote bag (tote bag is available here: https://www.booster.com/rhino-chaser-totebag). A percentage of each purchase will go to help the important work in saving these animals from extinction.

From WWF (http://www.worldwildlife.org/species/rhino): "Today, very few rhinos survive outside protected areas. And all five species are threatened, primarily by poaching."
