Action Plan 1999. A copy editor is incorporating the comments of a number of reviewers of the revised updated Action Plan before it is scheduled for final acceptance by the AfRSG in June 1999. 1,300 copies of the action Plan will be published by IUCN in November 1999, with the revised plan being made available shortly afterwards on the World Wide Web. This plan establishes rhino conservation management priorities, and promotes strategies and approaches most likely to succeed, encouraging their adoption by conservation agencies.
Coordination. As usual, the AfRSG has facilitated co-ordination and co-operation throughout the continent, through regular sharing and networking of information and research fmdings. This is promoted by the many AfRSG members who are active members of, or interface with, national and regional rhino management groups.
Workshop Tanzania. A black rhino workshop was held in Morogoro, tanzania, led to drafting of a fully revised and improved updated Tanzanian black rhino conservation plan.
Conservation strategy. March 1999 there was a workshop in South Africa which developed a draft national white rhino conservation strategy for South Africa. The draft is being sent to the SA Dept. of Environment Affairs and Tourism which will seek comments prior to adoption.
