The Amakhala Game Reserve in the Eastern Cape of South Africa is home to hundreds of animals, many endangered. In 2010, poachers took the lives of three white rhinos for their horns.
This is a 3D scan I did of a memorial to rhinos Chippy, Geza and Isipho right after seeing a baby rhino that was born 11 months ago. It sits atop a ridge overlooking the 18,000-acre park where other rhinos roam.
White rhinos are a threatened species. Poachers pursue them for their horns which are valued in Chinese medicine. Game parks must patrol 24/7 to thwart poachers.
You can support anti-poaching efforts by staying at ecological game parks in Africa, and through many charities. This scan was created with @TRNIO Plus. #whiterhinos #southafrica
