Hey everyone!

My name is Izzie Cutts and I'm reaching out with an exciting and crucial project close to my heart. For my Master's dissertation, I'll be diving into the fascinating world of southern white rhino reproduction at the Selati Wilderness Foundation, a private game reserve in South Africa. These magnificent creatures face numerous threats, and understanding the factors that influence their reproductive success is vital for their long-term conservation.

My research will explore various influences, from environmental conditions and social dynamics to the impact of conservation management practices on rhino breeding rates. The data I gather will contribute directly to the Selati Wilderness Foundation's ongoing efforts to protect and grow their rhino population, and hopefully provide valuable insights for broader conservation strategies.

This is where I could really use your support. Funding is essential to cover the costs of fieldwork in South Africa, including travel, accommodation, research permits, and vital equipment for data collection. Every contribution, no matter the size, will directly fuel this important research and help make a tangible difference in the future of these incredible animals.

Thank you so much for considering supporting my dissertation and the conservation of southern white rhinos.
