ICORP, which stands for the INTERNATIONAL COALITION OF RHINO PROTECTION is a non- profit Organisation, with a a US-registered, 501(c)(3) public charity, and South African Registered Section 18(a) Charity. We are dedicated to a full circle approach of conservation and protecting wild spaces as well as People. It started 7 years ago, in Mozambique when the founder Marc Mc Donald, was struggling to fund the protection of wildlife that were being poached. This is where, the name was born.

​Fast forward a few years, we have evolved and moved into new areas, where we not only protect large species, but also focus our efforts to areas that seem forgotten, where we protect fauna, flora and the people that live in far to reach spaces. 
​
We take great pride in our own Counter Poaching Units, the Coalitions we form and the International support we receive.

​ICORP deploys Counter Poaching Units and highly skilled Security Personal protecting Flora, Fauna and People, mainly farmers. This is a unit of highly trained local individuals, raised in the bush and who have worked either in the military or law enforcement for many years. 

We utilize multiple measures to ensure our success, including Bathawk lightweight aircrafts, thermal Drones and K9 tracking dogs. Our trained Personal, provides security and anti- poaching strategies, intelligence gathering and field reports for Nature Reserves and rural areas that are far away for everyday easy protection.

Farmers in South Africa are at huge risk, where 100s of attacks and murders are recorded every month. This is due to their vulnerability living so far from towns and built up areas, makes them targets.

In order to provide an exclusive insight, we run a Volunteer Program, designed to outline all aspects of conservation and the work of a Ranger. This is to raise awareness and provide vital support for our operations and research projects. 

VOLUNTEER

We are dedicated and involved in Sustainable Community Projects, to create a future and perspective for underprivileged trusts, that surround our Areas of Operation. We aim to work with local schools, sport programs, widows and fresh produce solutions in order for communities to supply and support themselves. This not only ensures local support of our efforts, but also creates a safety and intelligence network. We believe getting to the root cause of many crimes Southern Africa faces, and being an organisation that can attempt to fix these issues at the root.

DONATE

We endorse our Learnership Program, designed to provide underpriviledged and troubled individuals with a chance to become qualified and skilled Rangers. Thus, they are able to live off an income and do not have to resolve to meat poaching or more severe wildlife crimes. They are able to achieve high qualifications and accreditation under ICORPs umbrella.
An opportunity is given to a driven man and a light at the end of the tunnel emerges.
