Did You Know?

Have you ever helped move something huge with friends? In Africa, conservationists use helicopters to move endangered rhinos to safer areas. Rhinos need to be moved because their habitats are shrinking and they are at risk from poachers. It takes careful teamwork to lift these massive animals, fly them gently and set them down safely. It’s a rescue mission that saves lives!
