Feed a Hero, Be a Hero - Rhinos in Livingstone
Organization information
Destination Livingstone Initiative
Location: Livingstone, Zambia
Summary
Did you know that those "BIG5" white rhinos are picky eaters? I didn't. During our dry season lasting 4 months, when there is little grass, supplementary feed needs to be bought to ensure our rhinos survive. They can't eat leaves from trees/ shrubs - only grass, favourite is lucerne but it has to be brought in from over 200kms to their home in Mosi-Oa-Tunya National Park. Getting small scale farmers to grow this grass is a Win-Win - rhinos survive and farmers get more income. Hurrah.
