The Deadly Rhino Horn Trade

NELSPRUIT, SOUTH AFRICA, 4 MAY 2016: CARE FOR WILD AFRICA is a donor run NGO that specializes in caring for wounded animals. They have a special focus on rhino and have taken in many rhino orphans from the poaching wars across South Africa at this time. Petronel Niewoudt runs the facility with a small team of incredibly dedicated staff and groups of volunteers who come in from all over the world. Many of their rhino are small calves who have seen their mothers killed and often been attacked by the poachers themselves. Wounds from machetes across the spinal area are common as poachers try to break their spines so they cannot run away. Their latest orphan is Lulah, her mother was killed in Kruger National Park and when the rangers found Lulah she was estimated to be one month old. Hyenas had attacked the tiny calf and chewed off her ears, parts of her nose and inflicted a terrible bite on her rear right leg. Lulah has a strong will to live and despite fighting off infection in the wound she is looking like she will survive. Lulah has a full time caregiver Dorota Ladosz, 25, who are full time staff at C.W.A. Dorota has an honors degree in both Animal Science and Wildlife Management. She lives full time with Lulah at the time of this picture and sleeps with her in her enclosure. She maintains a constant watch on Lulahs injuries and her temperature and feeds her at regular intervals. Lulah received surgery on this day and her wounds were cleaned out by Jan-Louis Ras, a surgeon who volunteers his services to Care for Wild Africa but actually usually works on humans. Vet Donnie Engelbrecht handled the anesthetic and the Care for Wild Africa staff assisted. Infections in Lulahs leg were cleaned out and her ears and the top of her head were dressed and disinfected. Care for Wild Africa has taken care of multiple rhino calves like this and today they have 27 survivors living on the property. (Photo by Brent Stirton/Getty Images Reportage)
