Saving the survivors

Saving the survivors website

Our charitable objectives for 2018 and 2019 include the “Saving the Survivors” that cares for adult and baby rhinos that have survived the “attentions” of the poachers with devastating injuries.  The poachers remove their horns for sale on the black market and leave the rhinos to die of their injuries. This is a small but vital charitable operation that goes some way towards restoring faith in humanity.  It also helps to maintain the breeding population of rhinos but it is very hard and demanding work.  
​
​“Saving the Survivors”  is currently pioneering new surgical techniques together with a team from Nottingham University to help heal some of the very long-standing injuries, with the aim of finally rehabilitating these rhino's back into the wild where hopefully they will breed again (spoiler alert - they do not need to have their horn for that, so why the horns keep on getting poached to be sold as aphrodisiac is beyond us!). They are also developing a new tracker system that will help prevent poaching attacks in the future. These steps really make a difference!
