🦏✨ Introducing Rhino Art by African Wood Magic ✨🦏

Created by local wood artist Wyand du Bruyn and renowned conservationist Conraad de Rosner, this powerful collection pays tribute to one of Africa’s most iconic species — the rhino.

Each piece is hand-carved from Leadwood and other indigenous woods, ethically sourced from cleared farmland with proper permits. These sculptures tell stories of strength, resilience, and our deep connection to the wild.

Not only does this art celebrate the rhino, but a portion of proceeds has also supported pangolin conservation — the world’s most trafficked mammal.

This is more than art — it’s conservation carved in wood. 🌍🖤

Conservation isn’t just about protecting wildlife—it’s about telling their stories in powerful ways. And few do it better than Conraad, whose breathtaking Rhino Snare Sculpture transforms tragedy into a call for action.

Crafted from recovered poacher’s snares, this sculpture embodies the harsh reality of wildlife crime while honoring the resilience of Africa’s giants. Every twisted wire once meant to take a life—now it stands as a symbol of hope.

At K9Conservation.com, our anti-poaching dogs and handlers work tirelessly to prevent these threats before they happen.

Huge thanks to Ilana and JP from Aardvark Wildlife & veterinary services who assisted with the darting of a young male lion who managed to breach a fence on Thursday evening. He was later released back to safety on the game reserve 🦁
