The breeding performance of black rhino has improved after several years of sluggish performance. The females are now conceiving 8 to 12 months after calving, giving them an inter-calving interval of just over two years, which is comparable to other top-producing rhino sanctuaries in Africa. Previously our inter- calving intervals were over three years. We believe that the reason for this is the increased area of the sanctuary after the removal of internal fences.
