Share Tweet Forward Share Dear friends, Little rhino calf Angie was just six months old when poachers brutally killed her mother right before her eyes in South Africa’s Limpopo Province.  Credit: HESC Covered in her mother’s blood, Angie refused to leave her side.  Can you imagine the distress of a baby rhino after witnessing the horror of her mother being slain? Terrified and confused, Angie was found desperately wandering around her mother’s lifeless, mutilated body – she herself stained with blood after likely trying to nuzzle her mother, not understanding she was gone forever.  Heartbreakingly, poachers often target female rhinos, especially those with calves, because they’re slower and much more vulnerable.  Credit : HESC When a mother rhino is killed, her calf stands little chance of survival. That’s where YOU, and our dedicated partner on the ground, come in. Please help by making a donation now! Angie was rushed to our partner, Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre (HESC), where she is now receiving around-the-clock care. But without her mother's milk and emotional support, Angie's road to recovery has only just begun. Angie needs 7 gallons (26.5 liters) of special milk formula daily – critical for her growth and development. This nutrition, combined with years of rehabilitation, will give Angie a fighting chance to one day be released into a protected reserve, where she can live freely in the wild where she belongs.  Credit: HESC One feed for Angie costs $33 (around £25), and she needs a bottle at least four to five times a day. Please help by making a donation now! Your generous donation of $33 (around £25) will pay for a feed for Angie, and each feed helps her grow stronger, provides critical sustenance, and improves her chances of survival. Black and white rhinos around the world are being pushed to the brink of extinction due to poaching.  Rhino poaching is driven by the demand for rhino horn in Asia, where it is used in unproven traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and for ornamental purposes as a symbol of success and wealth. Tragically, Angie’s mother could not be saved from this fate – but we have a chance to save her baby. Credit: HESC Your donation today WILL change Angie’s life. By contributing to her care, you are not just helping one rhino – you’re taking a stand against the cruelty of poaching and giving hope to the future of an entire species.  Please, help us give Angie the specialized nutrition she needs to survive following the traumatic loss of her mother, by donating to Animal Survival International today.  Watch the video Saving animals and the planet, Campaign Director Animal Survival International P.S.
