Supporting Rhino Protection at iThala Game Reserve

With an imminent poaching threat targeting the rhino population at iThala Game Reserve, immediate action was necessary to protect them. Rhino dehorning has proven to be an effective deterrent against poachers, and in response, an emergency plan was set into motion—a group of organisations came together swiftly to ensure the operation could take place.

YOUR IMPACT

The helicopter is essential in an operation of this scale. Beyond darting rhinos from the air, the pilot guides them to accessible areas, enabling the ground team and vet to reach them quickly. It also plays a crucial role in keeping the team safe by driving away other dangerous wildlife, ensuring the dedicated

conservationists can work without risk.

47 RHINOS DEHORNED

Thanks to The Cycle of Life’s generous contribution, which covered more than half of the helicopter hours, the team successfully dehorned 47 rhinos in just three days.
