AERG Meeting Nairobi, Dec 1983. Five black rhinos were successfully translocated from Natal to Texas in March 1984. The project is a co-operative effort of Game Conservation International, the American Association of Zoological Parks and Aquariums, African Fund for Endangered Wildlife and the Natal Parks Board. The rhinos will be encouraged to breed in the wide open spaces of two Texas ranches. It is hoped that eventually the offspring will be reintroduced into the wild in Africa once the poaching problem has been contained. judging from reports, all animals are doing well. The outcome of the project will be reported in the December Newsletter.
