The black rhino introduced 1981-1983 were monitored by Hillman. 1984-1989 only annual game census by helicopters were done. In 1989 monitoring efforts were increased. Hansen and lindemann were contracted to initiate, and later update individual rhino ID-kits in annual intensive helicopter and ground surveys. In 1991 an ear-notching programme started, which means that all animals are individually recognisable. In 1984 a black rhino monitoring officer was appointed.
