⚠️⚠️ WARNING! GRAPHIC IMAGES OF OUR WORK!⚠️⚠️

Another Southern White Rhino Bull shot and his front horn traumatically hacked away by poachers.

This Bull has been making a fairly good recovery, however it seems that the Oxpecker birds are now irritating the wound and keeping it open, preventing the area from healing fully.

Dr. Johan, together with Dr. H (the local vet which has been treating this Rhino) immobilised the Bull and treated the facial wound with the technique that was developed several years ago by STS, using fibreglass material and orthopaedic screws with wound dressings below.

This will need to stay on 3 to 4 weeks, after which we will remove the covering and assess how the wound has reacted to the treatment.

In the meantime the Oxpeckers cannot gain access to the wound, which should give the area ample time to heal sufficiently.

Please continue to support our work so that we are always ready to answer that call when wildlife needs us. It is your generous donations that make all this possible! Please donate via the link or button.

@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.
