  • We are delighted build on this partnership with Save the Rhino and the UK’s number one biltong, Cruga. The synergy with the charity and our customers is really exciting, and we will be sharing the work of the charity and highlighting this on all our packs going forward.”

    James Newitt, CEO, New World Foods (Europe).

  • …and, together, we’re delivering impact for rhinos in the wild

    “Collaboration is one of our core values at Save the Rhino: we know that we can’t save rhinos alone. That’s why we’re thrilled to team up with Cruga Biltong to protect these iconic animals. By working together, we’re aiming to stop the key threats of poaching and habitat loss so that rhinos in the wild can thrive. We are excited to continue our partnership with Cruga Biltong and raise crucial funds for rhino conservation across the world.”

    Darion Moore, Partnerships Communications Officer, Save the Rhino International.

Cruga are helping to support parks such as Hluhluwe-iMfolozi. Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park (HiP) has suffered intense poaching attacks in recent years, and rangers are at the heart of the Park’s strategy to reduce this threat. Rangers are the first line of defence for the Park, and often spend weeks, if not months, at a time patrolling remote poaching hotspots. To do their important work effectively, the team must be well-trained and equipped.

Often, it’s the simple stuff that makes the difference for rangers. After an exhausting day on patrol, thanks to the support of our partners and donors like Cruga Biltong, HiP’s rangers now have gas stoves to cook a hot meal, and comfortable mattresses to rest and recover. Whilst these might seem like very basic pieces of kit, they can make the world of difference for boosting morale and ensuring rangers get a well-deserved break after a long, difficult day.

The team at Cruga haven’t just been raising funds for rhinos. We’ve also supported the incredible fundraisers at events including the London Marathon in 2019. Cruga joined the post-race picnic, bringing biltong to share with the incredible (and somewhat exhausted!) runners: a treat for taking on the 26.2 mile challenge in support of rhino conservation efforts!

“We wished to partner with a charity that many of us are passionate about. There is also a meaningful connection with biltong, being an authentic African style meat snack. Cruga and Save the Rhino is an exciting partnership for us to be aligned with and we look forward to helping to raise money and support for this charity.”

James Newitt, CEO of New World Foods Europe
