South Africa is at the centre of the rhino poaching crisis. Rhinos are being brutally murdered daily in National Parks, Provincial Parks and on private property to meet the demand for bogus medicines made from rhino horn. The illegal rhino horn trade catapulted the status of the White Rhino to ‘Near Threatened’ and the Black Rhino to ‘Critically Endangered’.
Care for Wild specialises in the rescue, rehabilitation, re-wilding, release and ongoing protection of black and white rhinos.
As the rescued orphaned rhinos grow, a breeding programme has commenced at the facility, with the first rhino calf born at Care for Wild in 2022. Care for Wild plays a leading role in conservation in South Africa and works in partnership with local communities. This allows them to become invested in biodiversity conservation efforts through the provision of meaningful, equitable socio-economic benefits.
