FLYING RHINOS

Arantxa Golbano Rodríguez

The WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project aims to increase the range and numbers of black rhino in South Africa, and has created seven significant black rhino populations in eight years. Close to 120 black rhino have been translocated to date.

The seventh population was established recently after an epic 1,500 kilometre trip across the country. 19 of the critically endangered animals were moved from the Eastern Cape to a new location in Limpopo province.

Introduction to the topic (HOME)

It's where we live, work and dream.

It's our

sanctuary and our

refuge. We can love them

or hate

them.

It can be

just for the

night or for the rest of

our lives.

But whoever we

may be, we all

have a

place we call

home.

Animals Present society

Animals live in a variety of different kinds of homes:

from holes in the ground, to caves, nests and trees

some animals use natural habitat for their homes and others build their own home

some animals even live in other animal's homes

Increasingly, our society, especially organizations, are more interested in

protecting the habitat of animals and prevent

their extinction.
