27,000 elephants poached yearly
1028 rhinos poached in 2017
We treat endangered wild animals that have fallen victim to poaching or traumatic incidents.
Whilst we will attend to the needs of any injured animal, most of our efforts have been directed at rhino due to the vicious attacks that many of them have fallen victim to.
