      On 21/02/2017, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, the worst possible thing happened at Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage, a refuge and rehabilitation center for rhinos and other animals who have lost their families to poaching. Two armed men stormed into the orphanage, held the staff hostage, ripped out the security cameras and shot two 18-month-old white rhinos, Impy and Gugu. Both rhinos had their horns brutally removed, which the poachers will probably try and sell for a large amount of money. What we need now is to act quickly for the protection of the remaining rhinos and also, of course, all the dedicated staff at the orphanage with deadly anti-poaching actions and extra security that they need. Can you help Paul Christian raise emergency funds for extra security and other essentials for the Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage which was attacked by poachers.?. Please donate to their JustGiving Crowdfunding Page: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/ThulaThulaRhinoEmergencyFund?utm_id=1&utm_term=5p2ggZy7Y Thanks for your support. https://thulathularhinofund.org/about-us/fundimvelo-thula-thula-rhino-orphanage

        Thanks for posting about this, Year40! That's so sad what happened, especially when people were working hard to improve things. There's another organization called The William Holden Wildlife Foundation that is working against poaching and other issues in Africa, and provides funding... wonder if the Emergency Fund knows about them or has tried to contact them for funding.. Their website is http://www.whwf.org/

          Most wildlife/environmental organizations are doing their own work and aren't usually able to donate to other groups because of their limited and targeted funds. I know the Holden group is doing great work too. They all need funding. So much to do fighting ignorant insensitive people in this world.

            Yes, that makes sense.. these organizations are all working for important causes, and are all trying to raise money, so probably wouldn't be able to donate much, if any, to another group. Thanks again for bringing awareness of this, it's so sad that this happened. I hope alot of people will be able to help and support their efforts, to make sure this won't happen again!
