27th December, 2021 22:24:52

In the largest single rhino translocation ever undertaken, 30 White rhinos have been introduced to Akagera National Park in Rwanda, sourced from &Beyond Phinda Private Game Reserve in South Africa.

The translocation, which covered more than 3 400km, was carried out through a collaboration between the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), African Parks and &Beyond, with funding provided by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation.

The initiative aims to create a secure new breeding stronghold in Rwanda to ensure the long-term survival of the species in the wild to combat high levels of poaching.
