    The REI Member Dividend

    The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

    Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

    Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

    Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

    The Soul of the Rhino documents the efforts of conservationist Hemanta Mishra to safeguard threatened rhinoceros populations in Royal Chitwan National Park, Nepal.

    • Author: Hemanta Mishra
    • Softcover; 232 pages; short section of black-and-white photographs
    • The Lyons Press; copyright 2008

    The Soul of the Rhino is the story of a Nepalese man who has spent his entire life safeguarding an endangered species. This new release is a spirited yet humble account of one man's scientific career and personal journey to save the endangered rhinoceros in his native Nepal. Fresh out of university, Mishra began his work with aboriginal tribes, the Nepalese royal house, and handfuls of conservationists to protect the animal in its Himalayan habitat. In spite of decades spent political arm wrestling, traveling and fund raising, Mishra is still fearful to this day that Maoist insurgents and poachers will kill off the Asian rhinoceros for good—a tragedy after all his hard-won gains.

    Filled with candor and bittersweet humor, Mishra recreates his journey on behalf of the rhino, an ugly yet enchanting, terrifying yet delicate creature. The first book of its kind to delve into the multilayered political labyrinths of South Asian wildlife conservation, and one man's endurance in the face of it all, The Soul of the Rhino is sure to win over the heart and soul of the reader.

    Made in USA.
