The birth of baby rhino Rainbow at the Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary is a spark of joy in an otherwise serious battle against rhino poaching in the Lowveld’s courts.
In a heart-warming event, Wyntir, a rehabilitated rhino orphan, gave birth to her second calf, Rainbow, or ‘Mushankozazane’ in Siswati.
“Throughout the past decade, Care for Wild has remained committed to the rescue, rehabilitation and reintroduction of orphaned and injured rhinos into their natural habitats. As keystone species and ecological engineers, the reintroduction of rhinos is helping to restore habitats and protect biodiversity. The birth of this very special calf is a testament to a decade of dedication to saving rhinos, to save people, to save tomorrow,” said Nieuwoudt.
Her story took a hopeful turn when she was rescued and brought to Care for Wild, where she underwent extensive care and rehabilitation. Alongside her was Storm, another rhino orphan whose family had fallen victim to poachers over a decade ago. Storm was orphaned in an equally devastating attack, when poachers brutally killed his entire family.
This remarkable event not only underscored the resilience of these animals, but also served as a beacon of hope for the conservation community worldwide.
