Awareness & Information on rhino poaching in Africa: Orphaned calves are bought from the national park from which their mothers were poached. With the aid of qualified wildlife veterinarians and wildlife staff, the calves are hand-reared at various private reserves, including the Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve, untill they are able to feed by themselves. Rehabilitated rhino calves will hopefully roam free in these reserves and once the carrying capacity for a reserve has been reached, excess rhinos will be sold and relocated to other reserves worldwide.
