| The recommendations of a Population and Habitat Viability Analysis provided the basis for the adoption of 20 rhinos as the minimum number of founders of new populations, the managed migration of one or two unrelated rhinos between populations per generation |

| Translocation in Kenya, 1984-1995. Adult females (including animals pregnant at translocation) took an average of 3.4 ? 2.2 years to produce their first calves in the new reserve (n=21), with non- pregnant animals calving 4.6 ? 2.1 years on average after translocation (n= 13). |

| Analysis of 121 black rhino, Kenya, 1984-1995. Breeding performance of females
A total of 44 calves were born to translocated females, of which 36 survived to the end of 1995. Of the 59 females translocated (30 adult, 29 immatures, 33 had sufficient time in residence in recipient reserves to pr... |

| Analysis of 121 black rhino, Kenya, 1984-1995. Performance of recipient populations
The total sample of translocated rhinos had increased by 11.7 % at the end of the 12-year study period, equivalent to a 4.1 % increase per year following translocation. At the end of 1995, there were 88 survivo... |

| Analysis of 121 black rhino, Kenya, 1984-1995. Causes and timing of mortality
Intraspecific fighting with resident rhinos was the major cause of mortality among translocated rhinos, accounting for 12 out of 23 deaths, and more than half of the 19 ?natural' deaths (those not directly caused by h... |

| Release in Kenya 1984-1995. Intraspecific fighting of translocated rhinos in the first two years after introduction to new reserves in Kenya was the major mortality factor affecting all sex and age groups. High levels of fighting mortality in translocated populations have also been recorded in ... |

| Release in Kenya after translocation, 1984-1995. The black rhino's vulnerability to falling over cliffs and getting stuck in waterholes was always a feature of former, very large wild populations. For exarnple, after poaching, these were the major mortality factors in over 700 rhino mortalities... |
