Kenya's present rhino conservation plan has four objectives (1993):
1. to secure and protect all remaining rhinos;
2. to capture and translocate all isolated, non-breeding or non-viable rhinos or rhino groups into sanctuaries for their own protection and to contribute to breeding;
3. to remove any recognised surplus of rhinos in sanctuaries approaching or exceeding their carrying capacities on a basis of maximum sustainable yield;
4. to translocate surplus rhinos to stock new sanctuaries and unfenced release areas located in larger areas of secure habitat.
