CHANGING THE FUTURE OF THE RHINO
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.
- Training up and kitting out of 3 new anti-poaching units in the Pilansberg consisting of 36 operatives sourced from communities that border the Pilanesberg National Park.
- Arming the head of anti-poaching at Black Rhino Reserve.
- Purchasing an additional vehicle for anti-poaching patrols in the Pilanesberg.
- Purchasing 4 Paramotor Gliders for aerial surveillance of the park together with with training of 4 pilots.
- Purchasing 2 drones with night time capabilities.
Facilitating Community Education & Development Programmes (CEDP’s) in the communities bordering the North West areas of the Pilanesberg beginning with the Mothlabe, Bakgatla & Tlhathaganyane Communities.
