Back in February i was given the opportunity to see firsthand how Organizations works day and night to protect not only Rhinos but all kinds of endangered animals. This trip was life changing to say the least, and i felt compelled to share with the world the story of it and the incredible things they are doing to help these animals here is a video of them (video) If this video has impacted you and you feel like helping, the first step would be to just share this video. :) raising awareness and spreading the message is the first step.
The illegal trade of ivory and rhino horn on the black market has become a multi-billion-dollar industry, funding terrorist organizations and criminal networks. It is estimated that up to 40% of their funding comes from wildlife trafficking. Simply put, rhino horn is one of the most valuable substances on Earth valued at $65,000 a kilogram.
Now global countries must aid in the fight and provide the South African government with any necessary resources to help them track down these blood-stained poachers!
