They serve a good purpose insofar as tourists can see that the project has successfully rehabilitated an animal that was destined to otherwise die – these animals arrive at Moholoholo as the result of being orphaned, poisoned, caught in poachers’ snares etc.
By visiting the centre we are supporting the important conservation work they do.
