#antipoaching

@savingthesurvivors founder Dr. Johan and team in South Africa were called to help a desperate reserve owner who had lost 4 Rhinos in one night in a brutal poaching attack!

Many reserve owners in South Africa are feeling immense financial pressure after covid has seen their main income from tourism practically disappear over the past 2 years. By far the biggest expense for these custodians of our wildlife is the security and measures needed to keep the most endangered species safe.

This is where, with your support, our teams can provide life saving assistance. We are able to support these wildlife caretakers with our veterinary services for free, in this case, in collaboration with the @councilofcontributors and helicopter pilot Gerry McDonald, we were able to fly in, trim the horns, take DNA and blood samples and microchip all the Rhinos that remained on the reserve. Undoubtably making them less of a target for the poachers that were feared to still be in the area.

The Reserve owner said - “I stand here with tears in my eyes because of your generosity – we didn’t see how we were going to get this done.” “It’s very lonely being a private rhino owner. Until now, we didn’t have any support, we didn’t know anyone we could call who cares the way we do.”

It is your donations that make this possible, your support has directly protected these Rhinos. Thank you to all that have donated, please continue to show your support by donating via the button or link in our Bio.

#UpdateOnMowgliBear
Watching young Mowgli exuberantly bounding around his enclosure at the#AgraBearRescueFacility, it is hard to imagine that it has been almost a year since he first came into our lives!

Follow the link for an update on our little cub & view more images: http://bit.ly/2o5ChAw

In February 2017, 10 week old Mowgli was left orphaned after his mother was electrocuted by high tension wires set up by poachers in the state of #MadhyaPradesh, India. Once rescued and rehabilitated at the #WildlifeSOS #AgraBearRescueCenter, our dedicated team of keepers & vets made sure to provide the much needed TLC and help him recover from his traumatic past!
Today, Mowgli is a far cry from the scrawny little helpless cub he was when he first stepped at our rescue center! Catch his shenanigans as we celebrate his first Rescue Anniversary!
Would you like to contribute towards his well being & make him your #valentine?http://bit.ly/2rkPvNw

A leopard skin was seized on the outskirts of Delhi in Ballabhgarh and one person was arrested in a night long joint operation carried out by #WildlifeSOS, Haryana Forest Dept. & Police. The accused is currently under police custody and the matter is being investigated further.

This week, Vince a White Rhino IN a zoo was poached, and his horn saw off with a chainsaw. Satao ll one of the few surviving “big tuskers” (wild) was also taken.
Im heartbroken. How could you? How could we?! We have science and medicine… I just don’t understand. Watching the anti-poaching units passion and precision instills hope, but they can only be so many places at a time. ——————————————
I know everyone is exhausted & doing their best to pitch in for the things you care about and affect you.
Do you know when you donate to #WorldWildlifeFund or #WildlifeConservationSociety you are helping fund anti-poaching as well?
To those who do what they can:
Thank you. .
