On a more ominous note, I learned that in the last few months there seems to have begun a westward shift in the activities of the poachers, perhaps calculated to force Zimbabwe to spread its anti-poaching efforts more thinly. The most recent rhino poaching incidents have been in the Chete Safari Area below Chizarira, and in several parks and reserves in the north-west of the country near Victoria Falls.
With the exception of the two incidents in Chete, the 5.000 km? protected area encompassed by Chizarira and the Chete and Chirisa Safari Areas has not yet been touched by rhino poaching. With a probable population of three or four hundred rhinos, it may in turn become truly the last stronghold of the rhino.
