Meet our 6 orphaned white rhino calves: Thaba, Bula, Peter, Mango, Angie & newest arrival Eve. Apart from poaching incidents, other events have resulted in the loss of their mothers, including dying from injuries caused by other animals, old age, or reserve staff not being able to locate the mother after many attempts. These traumatised little ones needed to be taken in & given the love & care they so desperately needed. They'll be released back into the wild when fully grown & rehabilitated.
Rhino poaching is an ongoing problem in South Africa. Poachers stop at nothing to get their hands on rhino horns, which fetch exorbitant amounts on the black market. As a result, many baby rhinos are left orphaned and traumatised. In addition, nature too can take its course and leave behind more traumatised baby rhinos who now need to be fed with a milk supplement in the absence of mother's milk. They will need to be rehabilitated, and their health closely monitored.
By donating towards this project, donors will be playing an active part in taking care of these little rhinos through providing funds towards their feeding, medicine, and veterinary care when needed (which will be at various stages throughout the time they spend at the Centre).
Donors will be contributing towards rhino conservation, because with each rhino that can be saved and eventually released, the fast-declining white rhino population has the potential to grow.
