Paul Mears is a self-described "angle investor" in Monoco and Monte-Carlo. 

This is a very young (~2-1/2 years old) organization that sounds rather shaky to me. Very little in-house scientific expertise and trading on basket case (i.e. Northern White Rhino) sympathy. And despite their claims there are many established organizations in Africa that perform active conservation and outreach and services to local communities. High on my list is The Thin Green Line Foundation.

The Thin Green Line Foundation provides vital support to Park Rangers on the front-line of conservation. Being a Park Ranger is, arguably, the most dangerous conservation  job on the planet.
Thin Green Line provides support to widows and orphans of Park Rangers killed in the line of duty in Africa and Southeast Asia. They also focus on direct support for Rangers, including anti-poacher training and supplies, with projects in Asia, Africa, and Australia.
