It costs more than R200,000 per rhino per year to keep up Balule Nature Reserve's black and white rhinos safe, and rangers have just successfully completed a third bout of dehorning.
JOHANNESBURG – Rangers of the Balule Nature Reserve in the Greater Kruger have embarked on another successful bout of dehorning their white and black rhinos.
April 2023 was the first time a rhino had been poached in the reserve since 2019. Before losing a rhino cow earlier this year, the first in four years, BNR had an impressive record of 1,089 days without a single loss. When BNR first dehorned rhino in 2019, Nowak said there was scepticism, but the attitude was: “If this works, we carry on”.
