He's awesome!

And the elephant orphanage he is at in that photo is really amazing (Shown in the documentary Born To Be Wild) and the Daphne's book http://www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.or...lovestory.html is sitting on my nightstand begging me to get off of this computer...

If only there were more Great people in this world.

Poachers wipe out rhino in Mozambique park

2013-04-26

(excerpt)

Cape Town - Poachers, aided by game rangers, have killed every single rhino in the Mozambique section of one of Southern Africa’s most vaunted transfrontier parks.

The director of the International Fund for Animal Welfare's wildlife crime and consumer awareness programme, Kelvin Alie,said poachers had killed 15 rhino in Mozambique's Limpopo National Park last month, the last remaining animals from an estimated population of more than 300 when the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park was proclaimed in 2002.

The administrator of the Limpopo National Park told media that 30 rangers will appear in court soon, charged with involvement in the killing of the rhino.

“It is tragic beyond tears that we learn game rangers have now become the enemy in the fight to protect rhino from being poached for their horns.

“That the entire rhino population of part of such an important conservation initiative can be wiped out – and with the help of wildlife enforcement officers - speaks volumes about the deadly intent of the wildlife trade
