Black Rhino |
An area in the central part of the park, straddling the Lubonga River, was chosen as the site for the sanctuary in which the rhinos would be released. The site's location was based on historical distribution data for black rhino in NLNP, as well as security considerations. A low-impact, four-strand electrified fence was erected to contain the rhino in this 55-km2 area,
while allowing for relative freedom of movement for other animals. Additional ZAWA wildlife police officers were seconded to the area, and received extra training to deal with rhino security.
