White Rhino CBO on The Joyride─── 17:09 Wed, 09 Jun 2021
We speak to Simon "The Rhino Guy" who tells us a bit more about the rhino project he and his team is busy with.
In 1993, John Hume, a South African property developer, acquired his first rhino. For the next 13 years, he successfully bred 143 rhino calves from a breeding herd of 130 Southern White Rhino. To date along with his dedicated team, he has successfully bred over 1000 rhino and we currently see about 200 new rhino birthed every year.
Due to the success of their breeding operation and around the clock security, they have only seen a limited number of poaching incidents. Currently, the project protects 10% of the White Rhino population left on earth. On average, their breeding program adds 1% to the global white rhino population every year.
