Rotarian Action Group for Endangered Species (RAGES)

The Rotarian Action Group for Endangered Species, RAGES, has been formed to mobilize Rotarians and provide global awareness and focused ACTION in the continuing struggle to preserve and protect endangered species. RAGES will initially focus on the rhinos, elephants, mountain gorillas and chimpanzees in Africa, where poaching is a danger not only to these rare animals, but also to the economic survival of the indigenous people with whom they share the habitat. RAGES has been recognized by the Board of Directors of Rotary International.
