Rhino Poaching Escalates in Save Valley
18th November 2008

featured photo During the last nine months rhino poaching in the Save Valley Conservancy (SVC), a 350000ha wildlife reserve in the south east of Zimbabwe, has escalated to the point where 30% of breeding females have been lost. One of the most important sub-populations of black rhino is under threat - two more died in the past week.
The SVC anti-poaching forces are seriously under resourced. Neverthe less, an emergency plan to train and equip a new Rhino Anti-Poaching Unit has been devised to curb the immediate problem. The new Unit will include Police, National Parks game scouts and SVC scouts.
Funds are urgently need to equip and operate the Unit in the short term. Sindisa is trying to help and is appealling for donations. Online donations can now be made through www.justgiving.com/sindisa or www.justgiving.com/saverhino.
