Hercules. Liora.
The rhinos
your wine names.
At Rhinory, every bottle pays into rhino conservation through partners we name and track. Hercules, rescued after a hyena attack and brought back at Care for Wild in South Africa. Liora, an Eastern black rhino calf born at Ol Pejeta in Kenya and named by our Wine Club. Choose Rhinory, and you’re funding specific rhinos in specific places, not a good feeling.
Care for Wild. IRF. Ol Pejeta.
The three organizations Rhinory names by name, the headline conservation partners behind the thesis. Each card carries the verbatim relationship body, verified outcome figures, a named impact anchor, and an outbound link. Different geographies, different jobs, one mission.

Liora is permanently recorded in the Kenya Wildlife Service black rhino database. Beyond Liora, Ol Pejeta is also home to the last two Northern White Rhinos on Earth, both female, both under 24-hour armed guard.

Mohawk
& SmartStrand.
“We’ve joined forces with Mohawk to create beautiful, sustainable flooring solutions. Their commitment to using recycled materials aligns perfectly with our own values, and together we’re helping to reduce our environmental footprint.“
The result is SmartStrand: Bring Back the Rhino, a branded carpet line tied to rhino conservation, with its own micro-site at rhinocarpet.com. The partnership is active through October 2025 per Floor Covering News coverage.
Visit Mohawk · the rhino-carpet programWe’re looking at this to bring the Rhino back, demonstrating the sustainability, durability, and clean-ability of our product. But we are looking at literally helping him back from extinction.
Stand-in: the live partner page hosts a SmartStrand product video; this slot is wired for the embed handoff.
Tembo
& Rhinory.
A collaboration built on a shared vision: bringing people closer to the beauty of wildlife while contributing to its preservation. It begins with the handcrafted Relate Bracelet, a piece symbolizing community, conservation, and impact.
Each piece supports rhino protection through Blake’s story and uplifts artisans through ethical production and employment. The collaboration expands to “The Blake” Cap and the Rhinory Collection tees and hoodies, uniting style, storytelling, and purpose in wearable form.

The partnership context. The full picture.
Beyond the canonical three, Rhinory operates inside a wider network of conservation organizations, corporate sponsors, and creative collaborators, the orgs whose work shares our register, the businesses that show up for our gala, and the artists who give the conservation story a visual life.
