Original text on this topic:
There has been considerable activity in Southern Rhodesia during the last two years, in stocking game parks with a wide variety of species. Most of these movements have been from one park to another within the country, to stock new game parks which have hitherto not supported much animal life, and to introducing species to localities where they have become extinct. Eight square-lipped rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum) were imported from the Umfolosi Game Reserve, Natal, during September 1962, four being released in the Matopos National Park and four in the Kyle Dam Game Reserve. In both these areas the white rhinoceros had occurred in the last century, but from 1880 onwards the decline in their numbers was rapid, and by 1900 only a few stragglers remained.
