Morning Starters: Summer 1 - Teamwork
Did You Know?
In South Africa, rhinos are sometimes airlifted to safety by helicopter – a challenging operation that requires teamwork and precise planning. This method is used to protect them from poachers (intent on killing them for their horns) and transport them to safer environments. Each mission involves pilots, veterinarians and ground crews, who work together to save the rhinos. It’s an incredible example of teamwork for the greater good.
