Rhino Orphanage

 

A very sad consequence of the rhino poaching epidemic is orphaned rhinos. Rhino cows with babies are the easiest rhino to hunt as they stay to protect their young where males will more likely head to the hills. These babies are often left to die and if they don't receive support quickly, this results in two dead rhino for one set of horn. 

 

There is a countrywide shortage of facilities with the ability to take in these brave little souls, and as a result we are losing young rhino that could have been saved. In response to this need, a unique partnership has been formed between The Lawrence Anthony Earth Organization (LAEO), Thula Thula Private Game Reserve and the local communities represented by their respective chiefs. A world class care facility has been constructed to give these magnificent animals the fighting chance they deserve at survival. This unique care facility not only addresses the physical needs of the rhino but also nurture them mentally and emotionally to ensure that they are fully rehabilitated back into the wild.


The annual up keep of an orphaned rhino is generally around USD6000 so we need your help to keep these poor baby rhino alive.
