Rescuing, rehabilitating and releasing individual animals is only one part of the solution to protect pangolins. Rhino Revolution believes it is critical to work in a more holistic, collaborative way. Therefore, we are also working closely with anti-poaching, education and community outreach specialists in the Hoedspruit area - so we can all learn, share best practice, and understand who the key influencers are.

Rhino Revolution invited a group of gogos (African grandmothers) to join a successful dehorning operation on Balule Nature Reserve. For these community matriarchs, this was their first time on a reserve and their first time to see a rhino, despite living close to the reserve boundaries.

As part of Rhino Revolution's community engagement programme, where possible we try to invite young members of local communities to attend rhino dehorning, to see and learn about rhino conservation at the front line.

This male pangolin was seized from poachers and arrived at Rhino Revolution, Sept 2020.
