ROCK ’N RIDE 4 RHINO is an epic conservation project entailing a 10,000km motorcycle adventure around Southern Africa from April - Sep 2013.
It has been conceived by JASON HARTMAN, 2009 SA Idol and founding director of Men of the Trees, and DAVE ESTMENT, ex-professional superbike racer, professional wildlife photographer and videographer, and founding trustee of the Wild Imaging Trust - both passionate bikers and conservationists - in partnership with DAMIEN MANDER, former Australian Army Special Operations sniper and founding director of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation. Numerous school presentations will be incorporated en route, as well as mass rides, community outreach, conservation activities, gigs, gala dinners and concerts, in association with the launch of Jason’s new album All or Nothing.
The purpose is to educate and inform, mobilize united action and raise R20 million to help save rhino and other endangered species by funding unmanned aerial vehicles, training, weapons, uniforms and infrastructure essential to vanquish the perpetrators of poaching atrocities.
