Field staff at Khama Rhino Sanctuary, 30 kilometres north of Serowe in Botswana, are pleased to confirm the birth of two white rhino calves. One of the calves was born in late July and the second cow gave birth approximately two weeks later. Although both calves have been spotted on separate occasions and appear to be in a healthy condition, their sexes have not as yet been established. These welcome new additions bring the total rhino population at the sanctuary into double figures - 11 in all. This is a major achievement for the Khama Rhino Sanctuary Trust, as one of their primary objectives is to preserve and propagate Botswana's remaining rhino population. Other objectives include environmental education and community development through the sustainable use of natural resources.
