Simultaneously we will be live-streaming the event, including the screening, via a private online link for our supporters around the world.

Our evening will be hosted by renowned British actor and animal welfare advocate, Peter Egan, and will feature a distinguished line-up of speakers, including the film-makers, Helping Rhinos CEO Simon Jones, and special guests from around the world to be announced soon.

Tickets to our exclusive London screening are very limited and we expect them to sell out fast, so don’t delay and order yours today.

About the Film

Directed by Cindy Lee and nominated for an OSCAR^TM in the Live Action Short Category, The Last Ranger was inspired by true events, and delves into the complexities of rhino conservation, emphasising the critical role of local communities in protecting endangered species. Through its compelling storytelling, The Last Ranger sheds light on the challenges faced by rangers and the importance of community involvement in wildlife conservation.

The release of The Last Ranger comes at a critical time, as rhino poaching has surged in recent months, posing an even greater threat to these already vulnerable animals. This powerful short film serves as a vital tool in raising global awareness about the escalating crisis and the urgent need for action.

Beyond raising awareness, the film plays an essential role in rallying support for conservation efforts on the ground. Anti-poaching teams risk their lives daily to safeguard rhinos, but they need ongoing resources, training, and equipment to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated poaching networks.

By attending our exclusive screening audiences can help amplify the message that protecting rhinos is not just a local battle—it is a global responsibility.

About the Event

For those joining us in London doors will open at the Curzon Bloomsbury at 5pm BST for an exclusive pre-screening drinks reception, where you will have the chance to mingle in a private area, including outdoor terrace, with like-minded conservationists, the Helping Rhinos team, and our special guests.

Our online ticket holders will be able to tune in from 6pm BST for opening remarks from Helping Rhinos Patron Peter Egan. This will be followed by the main event, the screening of The Last Ranger, after which both in-person and online guests will be treated to a fascinating Q&A featuring voices from the field as well as the film-makers themselves.

Every ticket purchased, whether in-person or online, helps fund our essential conservation efforts, including keeping rangers on patrol at what is a tipping point for many vulnerable rhino populations.

Secure your ticket today and play a part in this vital mission. Now, more than ever, we must stand together to ensure a future where rhinos can thrive in the wild.
