Dear Supporter,
The hunting and poaching of rhinos is nothing new – it has been going on for centuries. But the current level of poaching and dramatic increase in rhinos being lost to the poachers is leaving the species in very real danger of becoming extinct in the very near future.
I'm delighted to bring you news of a new purchase, thanks to your donations, to aid in our fight against poaching. The team in Limpopo have purchased two new quad bikes to used by the team in their efforts to prevent poaching at the Karongwe Reserve.
Last year, our Rhino project came 9th in GlobalGivings end of year campaign, which gave us a much-needed donation boost to make this purchase possible. Thank you to everyone who voted for us!
The new quad bikes will help assist with key anti-poaching activities such as fence checking. It will also allow our team to move around the reserve in a much more efficient manner, meaning that they can cover more ground on a daily basis in their work to prevent poaching.
Thank you for continuing to support this project.
All the best
GVI Limpopo
