About Bush Warriors
There is a war taking place on our planet for which there are no
headlines, no demonstrations, and no voice. It is a war against some of the
most endangered species on our planet and it takes place in some of the most
majestic, and unexplored biospheres of the world. Unseen and untouched by
the Western world, these places are well-suited to commit atrocious acts in
hiding.

The purpose of the Bush Warriors Organization is to create global awareness
about the plight of the world’s wildlife and biodiversity. Many human
activities are responsible for species declines around the globe. Exploding
human demand for animals and their body parts is fueling some of the most
horrific, inhumane, exploitative crimes against wildlife— poaching, bushmeat
trade, exotic animal trade, and so much more. Some of the world’s most
popular animals— elephants, rhinos, tigers, lions, dolphins, bears, and
more— are on the brink of extinction because of this. At the current
poaching rate these species are estimated to permanently disappear from
their natural habitat within the next 20 years. Some, such as central
African Elephants, could be gone in less than 3 years.
This war on wildlife can be stopped when enough people in the world stand up
and demand it to come to an end immediately. In order for this to happen,
more need to know about the devastating impacts that wildlife poaching,
animal trafficking, and the bushmeat trade are having on the world’s
remaining wildlife populations and the communities that co-exist with these
species. It is public outcry about these issues that will force change and
save earth’s biodiversity. This is why we want to get you, fellow Bush
Warriors, involved in our efforts to raise awareness.
The ultimate goal of Bush Warriors is to go extinct. We want to be the ONLY
thing that goes extinct. Our extinction would mean there is no more need to
raise awareness about the plight of wildlife because all species are
THRIVING in absence of the current wildlife genocide. We hope to get the
global community involved to save wildlife and give us no reason to exist.
We invite you to join us to fight on behalf of voiceless creatures around
the globe and bring victory for wildlife!

We will soon be launching the Bush Warriors Fund, by which we will partner
with small, community-based, grassroots conservation organizations to
support various projects that will boost conservation efforts and have major
impacts for protecting wildlife and biodiversity.

BREAKING NEWS: Five Rhinos Killed Over Weekend and
Major Rhino Poaching Syndicate Busted As Citizens Around Globe Prepare for
World Rhino Day
It is with great sorrow that we must report the slaughtering of yet
another five rhinos in South Africa over the weekend, bringing the total to
210 so far this year. The poaching took place in a Pilanesberg nature
reserve and were discovered by staff who were tasked with counting the
reserve’s rhinos this past weekend. They found four carcasses, all shot and
horns hacked off their bodies. The fifth rhino was found to have survived
the attack, with a gunshot to the back and also missing its horns. The
survivor later succumbed to his injuries. These five tragic deaths follow
the rhino attack we told you about this morning, a female that has
miraculously survived being shot nine times and also lost her horn.
Just hours ago, South Africa’s Eyewitness news reported that South African
police busted a major poaching syndicate in the early hours of Monday
morning. Police were able to apprehend nine individuals thought to be the
most senior members of a poaching syndicate arrested thus far. Speaking on
behalf of the South African Police, Vish Naidoo explains the raid began at
6:00 A.M. and among those arrested were two veterinarians and a game farmer.
The nine suspected criminals will appear in court on Wednesday morning, and
police are withholding details at this time in order to protect evidence in
their ongoing investigation. They say more arrests could be made before
Wednesday’s court appearance.
Sadly, the loss of the five rhinos comes only days before the recently
announced ‘World Rhino Day’, which will take place Wednesday, September
22nd. The day serves as a culmination of a month-long campaign launched by
the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in effort to raise awareness about the urgent
matters pushing rhinos towards extinction at shocking rates and send a
powerful message to world leaders that it is time to take serious action
against rhino poaching immediately. Starting at 1:00 PM PM Central Africa
Time (CAT), global citizens are encouraged to “make noise for rhinos” by
tooting their vuvuzelas or any other horns you have.
