Original text on this topic:
The status of black rhino in Zambia prior to this reintroduction was `Presumed Extinct', with the last confirmed sighting of an animal in the early 1990s. In historical times Zambia was one of the species' most important range states, and the Luangwa Valley, with an estimated population of up to 12,000 animals in the early 1970s, was one of its strongholds in the country.
