The narrative describes a journey to the Carricka Game Reserve in South Africa, where a team is working to protect rhinos from poaching. The team is targeting a male rhino with a large horn, which makes him a prime target for poachers. The team's mission is to dehorn the rhino to reduce its black market appeal and prevent it from becoming a target for poachers.
The team's work is part of a larger effort to save the rhino species, which is facing significant threats from human activities. The team is also working to relocate the rhino to a safer part of the reserve. The procedure involves tranquilizing the rhino, administering a muscle relaxant, and then carefully removing the horn. The team also uses a drone to track the rhino's movements.
The narrative also highlights the differences between white and black rhinos. White rhinos are larger and live in herds, while black rhinos are smaller and more solitary. The team is also working on a new technology to protect the rhinos: an inter-hornal implant procedure that disguises a GPS tracking system into the rhino's rear horn. This technology is non-invasive and can help protect the rhino from poachers.
The narrative concludes with a call to action, urging viewers to support the team's efforts to protect the rhinos. The team is working to create a safe haven in the Eastern Cape, which could become a last stronghold for the preservation of these animals if poaching is not brought to an end. The narrative warns that if action is not taken now, the rhinos could become extinct in the wild within less than 10 years.
