World Rhino DayWorld Rhino Day, held on the 22nd September, is a day initiated by WWF (the World
Wide Fund for Nature) to highlight the importance of stopping rhino poaching. Reports
from southern Africa over the past year have indicated that we have lost more than
one rhino per day and the number is climbing.
Mokolodi Education Centre had Al-Nur school visit on World Rhino Day and this was
their message. Stop Poachers!!
Duma passes away.
Duma, one of Mokolodi's two cheetahs originally brought to the park around 15 years
ago has died. Both he and his brother, initially brought to Mokolodi from the wild after
they were rescued following the loss of their mother in 1995, have played a significant
role in educating school groups from around Botswana and the visiting general public
from around the world. Duma & Letoatse also inspired the formation of Cheetah
Conservation Botswana and have therefore also acted as predator conservation
ambassadors.
Sadly, Duma, fell sick in early September and following tests, was diagnosed with liver
and kidney failure. Duma died on the 6th September 2011.
Mokolodi Nature Reserve is delighted to announce the births of two new white rhino
calves. The youngsters, the first a male born last month and the second a female born
last week, bring the total number of white rhinos born at Mokoklodi to 17. Book our
exciting Rhino Tracking activities and you may get a chance to see the new arrivals
with their mothers at Mokolodi Nature Reserve.
