The morning sun and the stars at night are always going to be coming around, but what about wild lions? Three years ago it was finally time. For several years I’d needed those little spectacles on my nose they call reading glasses while working on the computer or pouring over a good book. It wasn’t until road signs became a bit fuzzy and I began straining to see the shape of a bird’s beak that I conceded it was time.

It’s almost as if the poachers, that includes all involved along the wildlife trafficking and illegal trade routes, are snubbing those protecting the rhino! “Two dead rhino have been found in northern KwaZulu-Natal…” “Four rhinos were killed for their horns… in the Eastern Cape…” “Nine rhino carcasses have been found in northern KwaZulu-Natal…” At least 15 rhino killed in a matter of four days since World Rhino Day. It’s as if organized crime is laughing in our faces with a mocking, “We’ll show you!” It’s infuriating, frightening, and close to devastating! One rhino here and one rhino there appeared to…

World Rhino Day: How Ordinary People Made a Difference

As a volunteer run organization we at Nikela appreciate and believe even the simplest things make a difference in our global quest to save the last rhino in Africa.

With rhino being poached at a rate of about one every 18 hours, the poachers being trained and funded by syndicates of the illegal trades involving guns and drugs and the corruption at all levels of amongst the very…

The rhino of Africa can be saved from poachers and the illegal trade if for enough this World Rhino Day becomes a turning point. “While the poaching of Rhino is sickening and tragic, it’s nice to have a group like Nikela take a more positive approach of appreciation, while also doing a great job on awareness and not hiding from the harsh reality that they face.” Thank you Andrew, that about puts our World Rhino Day (Month) in perspective. Both the Black Rhino and the White Rhino in Southern Africa are in serious trouble. The former is on the Critically…
