  details
 
Location: Africa - Southern Africa - Namibia
Subject: Management
Species: Black Rhino


Original text on this topic:
Thirty black rhino will be translocated from Etosha NP on contract to suitable local game farms during the next two years, in a bid to extend their range. Rhinos on farms will be monitored and protected by the farmers, initially with the help of the Ministry of Wildlife, Conservation and Tourism. To prevent the animals from injuring one another and to reduce the poaching threat, they will be dehorned before translocation.
