An appreciation post from the @rhisotope for our vet nurse Candice ๐โฌ๏ธ
"Candice pictured on the left... is a the vet nurse, assisting the wildlife vet on the ground. A vital part of any team, they're knowledgeable, capable & caring & we couldn't do any of this without them ๐"
South Africa, home to Worldwide Experience and most of our projects, has been taken OFF THE REST LIST.
All our projects are now available to our British friends again as all African and Asian countries are Green!
Now itโs your turn to go green.

This image from a recent procedure with the @rhisotope project highlights how logistically complicated conserving rhinos is. It's a real team effort but we're lucky to work with some incredibly dedicated and likeminded people

Did you see @HelpingRhinos have launched an urgent appeal in conjunction with @DrWillFowlds to fund & fit 40 tracking collars to 40 rhinos across reserves in the Eastern Cape. If you can help please donate here:

The final stage of a successful relocation, removing the tracking collar. We removed this herd from an area with insufficient food & water in 2019 & it's great to see them settled & thriving #Conservation#Elephants

Even 'the king of the beasts' isn't exempt from the extinction crisis. It's thought lions have disappeared from more than 95% of their historic range, with around 20,000 left in Africa. If we can protect the icons like lions & rhinos, then we can save the rest too #WorldLionDay
'Temperatures on average are warming two to three times faster in the Arctic than the rest of the planet with serious implications below ground.' #Permafrost#Siberia

VET STUDENTS: If heading out to South Africa to join @DrWillFowlds & his team for a #VetsGoWild course isn't an option right now, take a look at their online version! Surely the most exciting 'working from home' could be? #WildlifeVets#VetStudents@WorldwideExp
Rhino poaching across Africa and Asia has been driven by the demand for rhino horn in traditional Chinese medicine and as a status symbol in Vietnam. This trade has been illegal since 1977 but despite that there are still around 3 rhinos poached everyday in Africa. (a thread)
Another succesful procedure with the support of the @RhinosGCF & their brilliant supporters. The continued aid that GCF provide means we can be pro-active about our conservation efforts and have that much more impact for our rhinos ๐ช
