Two adult white rhinos stand in an enclo

Two adult white rhinos stand in an enclosure at the Entabeni Safari Conservancy, Limpopo, 300 kms north east of Johannesburg on July 31, 2012. Entabeni is one of the world’s only dedicated orphanages for rhino calves whose parents were poached for their horns.The conservancy specially designed and built four high-care rooms and one intensive care chamber where sick calves can receive 24-hour attention. These include an incubator, drips and surveillance cameras. Almost 300 rhinos have been poached in South Africa since the start of the year, and in 2011, 448 were killed. The country’s seen a huge rise in poaching in the last few years, as black market demand for rhino horn soars.
