Rhino and Mr BRRRRR The Rhino Sanctuary has benefitted enormously from the recent rains, with lush vegetation providing optimum nutrition for the rhinos. The orphaned elephant is now 15 months old and is browsing well.  Thomas and Zacharia, his keepers, spend many hours with him out in the bush every day as his appetite for browse continues to increase. [link]

Vocational Training College We are moving forwards on the plans to build a vocational training college in a village close to the border of Mkomazi National Park.  Local formal meetings have been held on this with a Dutch foundation and the RC Diocese of Same who are involved in this project.   We are excited about this VTC as providing the young men of that area with a technical skill will give them a chance of employment after their education is finished.  Suzuki Rhino Club have been greatly involved in this project since inception and wish to put in and equip a mechanics' training workshop, which is wonderful. TANAPA continue to work closely with us and recently the GAWPT personnel and TANAPA staff have undertaken joint patrols in the area. [link]

Wild dog Reports in from Tsavo West National Park that a pack of 'at least 20 wild dogs' has been seen, one of which is wearing a collar.  As we are the only people in the region collaring wild dogs (one wild dog is collared per released pack) and as the collar colour is distinctive, this is a pack of wild dogs from our breeding and reintroduction programme. [link]
