With the support of the government of Botswana to translocate rhinos from South Africa in order to support the development of additional source populations in Botswana’s wild place. The Government has ownership of all rhinos in the Delta, and have deemed it necessary to put these rhinos into secure protected areas, under the protection of the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP), for their own survival.
Wild Impact and &Beyond would like to continue to support the monitoring of Rhinos through the DWNP, in the protected areas.The protection of rhinos is a specialist function, however does require specialised equipment. To achieve this the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) has developed a list of strategic equipment to achieve their protective goals. The rhino protection activities under this grant will be carried out entirely by the DWNP at an undisclosed location.
