World Rhino Day
RALLYING TOGETHER THIS WORLD RHINO DAY
With the world’s rhino species increasingly threatened by the rapidly growing scourge of poaching, World Rhino Day (22 September, 2015) provides the ideal opportunity for those of us in the travel industry to unite and take action to protect these iconic animals.
&Beyond, which boasts 24 years of proud successes in rhino conservation, has thrown its weight firmly behind this day. Believing that translocation is vital to the long-term preservation of the species, &Beyond has joined forces with Great Plains Conservation to move rhino from high-risk areas in South Africa to neighbouring Botswana, with the ground-breaking Rhinos Without Borders Initiative.
Already, the project has successfully translocated 10 rhinos, with plans to move
a second batch currently underway. This being said, we are continuing our efforts
to raise enough funds to meet the aims of the entire project.
ALL THINGS NEW
Just in time for World Rhino Day, Rhinos Without Borders is celebrating the arrival of a calf born to one of the rhinos that the project has translocated from South Africa to Botswana!
The brand new Rhinos Without Borders website has been launched to coincide with World Rhino Day. If you would like to pledge your support and donate to this cause, you can log onto www.rhinoswithoutborders.com to make a difference.
In addition to pledging to the Rhinos Without Borders cause, our guests can also assist in the on-going conservation efforts of this endangered species by embarking on an adventure-filled Rhino Notching excursion. This once-in-a-lifetime adventure allows guests to get up close and personal with rhino at &Beyond Ngala Private Game Reserve or &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve.
Here, a guests will have the opportunity to witness the capture and darting of rhino. A wildlife vet will locate and dart the rhino from the vantage point of a helicopter, while the guests and ground crew will follow in open 4x4 safari vehicles. Once darted, the veterinary team will notch the sleeping animal’s ear for research and security monitoring, as well as insert a microchip into the horn, enabling researchers to correctly identify different rhino on the reserve. Groups of up to eight guests can participate in this conservation initiative.
