Introduction
There is a belief that the horn of a Rhino will cure a number of illnesses but this has never been proven. Regardless horns are sold at a very high price making the illegal trade of sale highly attractive to poachers. These poachers will stop at nothing and easily kill hundreds of rhino's just to get the horn and sell on then illegal trade market.
Report
This project has multiple elements to it; 1. Closed Rhino Rehab Centre - Our centre is closed to public because we really do reintroduce them into the wild and allowing too much human interaction can prevent this. 2. Anti poaching - we use K9's, retired racehorses to help with reserve perimeter patrols to help keep the reserves safe from poachers (this also save on fuel) 3. Emergency Response to poacher alarms 4. Community Outreach - engaging children to be ambassadors for us in the community
Please remember the little by little campaign in April 3-7 where if you donate up to $50, GlobalGiving will match it at 50%.
Thank you for your support
