When a wildlife emergency call comes in, we respond immediately. Five rhinos had been shot, necessitating the swift relocation of the remaining rhinos. The Wildlife Emergency Fund (WEF) Team, in collaboration with our long-term partner, Imire Rhino & Wildlife Conservation, sprang into action. Remarkably fast for the conservation sector, we secured full funding and arrived on-site within three days with specialized emergency vehicles, crates, permits, veterinarians, and a skilled team of rangers and experts ready to implement our plan. 

Initially, we assisted a young rhino bull that suffered critical injuries from a bullet wound.

Our involvement in Zimbabwe demonstrates our readiness to address wildlife emergencies directly, equipped with the essential resources and expertise to implement timely and strategic measures. This not only saves individual animals but also aids in the overall restoration of wildlife and landscapes across Africa. No other organization can rival our speed and efficiency in wildlife conservation; WEF is unparalleled in its rapid response and impactful actions.

This is yet another example of a historic rangeland for rhinos that has been lost to rhino conservation.
