Roger the Riverine Rabbit

Meet Roger, the precious Riverine Rabbit that is a small and cute rabbit, with long ears and soft fur. He loves to hop around and nibble on the Karoo vegetation.

Roger's home is slowly disappearing. By raising awareness about the riverine rabbit and their plight, we are hoped to inspire others to take action and help protect their home.

So let us join Roger in his quest to save the riverine rabbit. Let us work together to protect their home and ensure that these precious creatures continue to hop around for many generations to come.

With only 200 individuals remaining, it is imperative that we take immediate action to support their survival.

The riverine rabbit is facing numerous challenges that threaten their survival in South Africa. One significant challenge is habitat loss and degradation, as the Karoo region is being rapidly converted for agricultural and urban use, resulting in a reduction of available space for the rabbit to live and breed.

Predation is also a significant threat, with predators like caracals, eagles, and jackals hunting the small and vulnerable rabbit. Climate change is another concern, with changes in rainfall patterns and temperature leading to a reduction in vegetation cover, affecting the rabbit's food sources and water availability. Human activities such as hunting, trapping, and poisoning, as well as road accidents, are also significant threats to the riverine rabbit's survival. Additionally, inbreeding is a concern due to the small population size, resulting in a loss of genetic diversity and reduced fitness.
