"RHINO WARS"
A Black Rhino in transit after being captured for Security Translocation at Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Park, South Africa, November 7, 2010. This park is famous for its translocation programs which saved the Southern White Rhino from extinction. WWF is involved in funding for security operations in the Park and tries to create new Black Rhino populations in an effort to replicate the success of the White Rhino translocation program. The Black Rhino remains critically endangered in Africa today, with less than 3500 surving now. Demand for Rhino horn has never been higher and relocation of these animals to secure locations is now an every day part of ensuring their survival. |
