Our operations director, Mark Gillham, provided technical support and expertise during a large-scale dehorning program in a reserve in Mpumalanga, South Africa. The entire rhino population of the reserve, which included both black and white rhinos, was dehorned.

The Wildlife Emergency Fund believes in ego-free collaboration, and one of our roles was to mediate between different parties at the reserve to ensure the project’s success. When projects need to be implemented urgently, it is crucial that all participants work together toward a common objective.
