The success of the Save the Rhinos Campaign and former EAZA Conservation Campaigns has led to an increase in interest of NGOs and zoos outside Europe to support, contribute to, or participate in them. North American zoos, for example, have joined EAZA in the Save the Rhinos Campaign.
EAZA was supported by the UK based charity Save the Rhino International (SRI) in the organisation of the campaign. SRI also liaises with the conservation projects that receive funding through the EAZA Rhino Campaign.
