Rhino’s & Zebra’s

As elsewhere in Africa, Namibia’s rhinos are under severe threat from poaching. Rudie and Marlice join conservationist and officials from the Department of Environment and Tourism at a secret location that is thought to be unsafe. Here they dart a black rhino from a helicopter for translocation to a safer area. While the animal is sedated it provides scientists wit an ideal opportunity to collect samples and data. Part of its horn is also cut off to discourage poaching attempts.
