USA kids jump in to save the rhino in South Africa

save the rhino

KIDS 4 A CAUSE, as the organisation is known, raises funds for numerous causes and has very strong ties to ORGR. Their July project was a particularly poignant one as they set up Back-a-Buddy funding for people to donate funds for our Anti-poaching Unit in the fight against rhino poaching.

The dynamic young men raised enough in US$ for us to purchase seven more cameras which are vital in the process of detecting incursions and human activity, to catch poachers!

We have to expand our already extensive network of these AI cameras on an ongoing basis to assist the AP teams. Using these cameras, coupled with our team, the K9 operatives, our night vision capabilities and a never-give-up attitude, we endeavour to save the Rhino species and the gift of these seven new cameras will go a very long way to making this happen. We are incredibly grateful, impressed and blown away by the superb efforts of this dynamic young team. Hopefully, they will inspire other youngsters abroad and locally to do the same.

The fantastic four, namely Dominic & Sheldon Fouche and Michael & Christian Kuhn are committed to continually raising funds for this cause. Take a look at their website and their Facebook page to watch their inspiring video, featuring the ORGR APU team.

The mound itself, a two-metre column of compacted earth on the edge of a drainage line in the Sabi Sand, had a jagged opening at its base roughly the size of a football.

A Year of Bird Song: Celebrating the Big Year of African Sounds

I have spent much of my birding journey fortunate enough to listen for birds before I see them. Long before a Narina Trogon reveals its almost incomprehensible palette of colours, its harsh, frog-like call often gives it away. Long before you begin to realise that summer has arrived, the duet of a Woodland Kingfisher pair echoes through the woodland. Their arrival marking the true onset of summer. For anyone who has spent time birding, sound is not a supplement to birding. Rather, it is often the first, only, and most reliable clue that nature presents you with.
