Rhino Range Expansion
We’ve Funded: £19,000
Where: South Africa
Helping Rhinos is thrilled to announce that in partnership with the Kariega Foundation and Freedom to Roam Adventures, Kariega Game Reserve has recently completed the first phase of an ambitious and important habitat expansion project in the beautiful Bushmans River Valley, growing the footprint of our protected area to 11,500 hectares. This new land forms part of our vision to create Rhino Strongholds in key locations, including South Africa’s Eastern Cape.
One of the consequences of the Kariega habitat expansion project has been the creation of a new home for poaching survivor Thandi’s second calf, Colin. Fully funded by Helping Rhinos, Colin was translocated with two females and subadult calves to form a new crash on the expanded land.
The project will also enable the future introduction of critically endangered black rhino and other endangered species such as cheetah.
