A few days after the official 'go-ahead' from Botswana officials, two rhinos, a cow and a calf, had been located in the Chobe National Park, captured and transported seven hundred kilometres to the Khama Rhino Sanctuary, established by an enthusiastic community of Botswana citizens in Serowe. A week later another two rhino followed, one wounded after a close shave with poachers. These smoothly executed operations in which the President of Botswana was actively involved, were an outstanding achievement, clearly demonstrating the potential of regional cooperation between the different state authorities and conservation organisations.
