CHANGING THE FUTURE OF THE RHINO

Rhino Orphanage Project

Rhino Orphanage Project

Our plans:

  • To upgrade 29.7km of the existing fence around the north-west boundary of the Black Rhino Reserve in the Pilanesberg;
  • To acquire 1500ha of land in a remote undulating area for a breeding programme consisting of 6 rhino cows and their calves;
  • To use the same land for the establishment of a rhino orphanage.

When a young rhino loses its mom, it is lost to the wild as calves are not adopted by other adult rhinos as is the case with some other species.
