Raymond Kramer, Founder of the Guardian Angel Wildlife & Marine Trust (GAWMT), was recently given the rare opportunity to witness the implanting of a satellite transmitter in a rhino near Dinokeng. This cutting-edge conservation practice allows experts to track and protect these majestic animals without interfering with or harming their horns.

As the veterinary team worked with calm precision, Raymond stood nearby, deeply moved by the dedication and care shown to the animal. The procedure was a powerful reminder of the innovation and teamwork required in the fight against poaching.

Reflecting on the experience, Raymond expressed his sincere gratitude for being invited to witness such a meaningful conservation effort. He noted that seeing the process firsthand not only reinforced his passion for protecting South Africa’s wildlife but also highlighted the importance of partnerships between trusts, specialists, and communities in ensuring the survival of rhinos for generations to come.

For Raymond, the day at Dinokeng was more than just an observation — it was a humbling experience and a renewed call to action in GAWMT’s mission to safeguard our natural heritage.
