🦅 The Importance of vultures 🌿

Vultures are nature’s clean-up crew, quickly consuming carcasses and helping prevent the spread of disease 🧬✨

By doing so, they play a vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy and protecting both wildlife and human health 💚

We have finally started ground clearing as part of the GlobalGiving Reviving for Rewilding project through Wildlife Conservation Trust! This is thanks to those of you who have already donated to help us get the land ready for our rhinos as part of the next step in their rehabilitation process. 🦏🎉

The rhinos were excited to get out and start their day this morning, with squeals and squeaks from Eve. Esmé soon realised that the camera was about - and made sure to command her space right in front.

The sables are grazing peacefully on the remaining green shoots, of which there won’t be much when the dead of winter sets in. We do however supplement their nutrition with extra lucerne during this time.

Let’s play a little game. Comment below with your guesses! 😄

Dash and Violet are certainly an energetic and hungry pair of siblings. Like Faith before them, they too have now been placed in a slightly larger cage to get used to the surrounding sights and sounds. 🐿️🐿️

When roles are reversed … The rhinos got to experience observing humans in an enclosure for once, while they hung around outside. 🤣🦏
