Release in Pilanesberg NP - Diceros bicornis. The experience from Pilanesberg suggests that there is a limit to the number of males an area can carry. Excess males should ideally be removed to pormote population performance in a restricted area. However, these surplus males cannot always be placed in established populations. Male-only sanctuaries are expensive and wasteful.
