Rhinos but...
The Rhino has basically become extinct in the wild with poaching being the primary cause. We have lost a staggering 61 Rhinos from Jan to May 2022. Therefore it is imperative that individuals and businesses combine in making a concerted effort to save our remaining rhino population that is housed on game farmland animal sanctuaries. This will thus ensure that the future generations experience these wonderful animals in all their glory.
