Dr. Nelson is headed back to Africa. The mission of this trip is to relocate several black rhinoceros to a protected area in Botswana. Black rhinos are hunted for their horns. Some middle eastern religions believe they can cure cancer in addition to other ailments. However, this is not true. Unfortunately poachers are killing the rhinos to sell the horns and causing a massive population decline. Hopefully Dr. Nelson’s efforts will help save the rhino population. It should be an exciting (and slightly dangerous) mission. Stay tuned for updates as we get them!
