Beneficiaries Past and Present
WILDERNESS WILDLIFE TRUST
The Wilderness Safaris Wildlife Trust supports a wide variety of approximately 30 projects annually in southern Africa, within the categories of wildlife management, research and monitoring, and community empowerment and education. These projects address the needs of existing wildlife populations, seek solutions to save endangered species and provide education and training for local people and their communities. For more than 20 years, the goal of the Wilderness Wildlife Trust has been to make a difference to Africa, her wildlife and her people.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR BENEFICIARY “The relocation will involve a high level of security during the operation, and after the release of the rhino. We are extremely grateful for the ongoing support of our sponsors including RHINO FORCE via their beaded bracelets, to ensure the ongoing success of this project. We are very confident that these animals will settle well and breed, given that the habitat is perfect for black rhino,” says Wilderness Safaris Group Conservation Manager, Mr Kai Collins.

RhODIS® – Rhino DNA Index System
RhODIS® (Rhino DNA Index System). In order to help with the plight of the rhinos, the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at the University of Pretoria’s Faculty of Veterinary Science, is collecting DNA samples of rhinos across the country to create a database using the unique DNA profile of individual rhinos. So far, the database has grown to include over 3500 black and white rhinos from South Africa in just over a year. It costs R600 for each rhino to be added to the database (excluding darting and sample collection costs). The goal is for all rhinos to be on the system. This will deter poachers and assist in forensic prosecutions
A MESSAGE FROM OUR BENEFICIARY Just a note to thank Rhino Force for the amazing donation to the RhODIS project. We have so many cases that we have to finalise and each represents another rhino lost to us. Each case is important and each animal deserves at least a thorough and efficient investigation and in some cases, evidence to ensure that a poacher or trafficker is brought to book. It is constantly a struggle to keep up but the kind of support that you have provided makes this possible and is a motivation to continue.” - Cindy Harper, Veterinary Genetics Laboratory : Faculty of Veterinary Science University of Pretoria Onderstepoort -

In addition to the feeding programmes, FEED SA runs education and teacher training, and helps to build and set up crèches, from operations and infrastructure such as classrooms, toilets, ablutions, kitchens and offices, as well as teacher training and teaching curriculum. This too, eventually allows for sustainability and small business ventures for the teachers.
