Original text on this topic:
The majority of this population is concentrated in a relatively small area: the Middle Zambezi Valley, a protected wildlife complex consisting of one national park and several safari areas that lies downstream of the Kariba dam and extends east almost to the Mocambique border.
Until this year it had escaped the kind of commercial rhino-horn poaching that has plagued the Luangwa Valley, a few hundred kilometres to the north, and that has virtually annihilated the species elsewhere on the continent.
