We're celebrating these exceptional animals on #WorldRhinoDay along with the 1 year anniversary of the @rhinorecfund. With their support, Wildlife ACT has been able to carry out field operations to dehorn 48 Rhino in protected areas, thereby decreasing the incentive for poaching.

The legal lion bone trade is damaging Brand SA.
With tourism brought to a standstill by #COVID19, what are you planning to do to repair the damage of this abhorrent industry, @sisantshona?

A2 - The trade in lion bones legitimises the product among consumers in South-East Asia and stimulates the demand for lion and tiger bones, compromising local enforcement efforts regarding the tiger trade. #WorldLionDay #800Lions

Did you know that SA🇿🇦 legally exports lion skeletons?
A new lion bone CITES export quota is about to be set in SA🇿🇦.
So today Blood Lions & @MoveTheWorldAF are asking you to help as we call for a ZERO quota.

(18/n) As cases keep rising in US, India, Brazil .. we all still need to hold on to hope. Whenever we are tiered of the long hours - we look at mountains that we still need to climb - knowing the view from the above is worth the fight. Hello world - let's not give up and fight!

Collaboration and awareness is key for #VultureConservation efforts
Three critically endangered African white-backed vultures have been successfully rehabilitated and released back into the wild through the Zululand Vulture Project. Poisoning by poachers is a major contributor to the deaths of these birds. bit.ly/2VxhgQS

What a day! In partnership with @EZEMVELOKZNWild, Raptor Rescue and @ManyoniReserve, we were able to release 3 critically endangered African White-Backed Vultures, back into the wild. This juvenile took its very first flight ever from the crate, after been in rehab for 6 months

A Crucial Step Toward Preventing Wildlife-Related Pandemics. Take a #OneHealth approach to #wildlife trade. A viable legal framework exists. It's time to widen #CITES lane to include public & animal health in its decision making
