The eight-years-old White Rhino Seha (short for Sehawukele meaning “have mercy on us” in Zulu) is seen with the open wound left behind by poachers after they hacked off both his horns during the poaching rapage on a private reserve in the North West Province in Johannesburg, South Africa, 28 July 2017. Seha is the only survivor after five rhinos where poached on the same game farm. South Africa has the world's largest population of Rhinos in the world. However over the past nine years a staggering 6,115 rhinos have been killed by poachers seeking their horns for sale to the lucrative traditional healing market in the Far East. In a ground-breaking and world-leading initiative, Dr Marias and Dr Glyphis from “Saving the Survivors” race to injured and poached Rhinos once they have been called by conservation groups or private rhino owners in an attempt to save the animals and heal their often horrifying open wounds.

A three-years-old White male Rhino Wasinda stands alone in a boma with a temporary hid covering his open wounds prior to being treated by Saving the Survivors vets at a private game farm in the Free State Province, Clocolan, South Africa, 19 September 2017. Wasinda, Zulu for “Survivor” was poached two days earlier and had both his horns hacked off by a saw. After a closer examination it appears he was shot two times to the head by a 375 rifle with both shots traveling through his head. Most concerning for the vets was that Wasinda may have been blinded by the incident. South Africa has the world's largest population of Rhinos in the world. However over the past nine years a staggering 6,115 rhinos have been killed by poachers seeking their horns for sale to the lucrative traditional healing market in the Far East.
