Dehorning Rhino to Deter Poaching (10-minute Video)

The Mozambique Wildlife Alliance’s (MWA) mission is to create a platform for collaborative veterinary and conservation actions in Mozambique that will connect and support partners, promote coexistence with communities and increase conservation impact for people, wildlife, and the habitat they share across Mozambique.

Their vision is to provide an international standard of wildlife conservation services that connects, inspires, and acts to secure wildlife and its habitat across Mozambique in partnership with the Mozambique National Administration of Conservation Areas (ANAC).

Mozambique’s international border with South Africa along the boundary of the Kruger National Park is one of the only areas in the country where rhinos occur.

Part of MWA’s work with ANAC is to remove the horns of every rhino that crosses into the area from the Kruger National Park into Mozambique to reduce the chances of the animals being poached.

Finding and dehorning rhinos is not easy in such a vast wilderness.
