Smaller populations occur in the Matetsi safari area and in the Gonarezhou National Park and black rhino have been reintroduced onto two farms and to the Matopos National Park. Some 70 black rhino were reintroduced to the Gonarezhou in the early seventies and, given normal population growth rates, should by now have more than doubled in number. This population has, however, been subjected to a continuous low level of poaching which has recently escalated and numbers are now below 70.
