In a landmark rewilding initiative, 70 southern white rhinos made a 3,400-kilometer journey from South Africa to Rwanda. They were first transported by truck to an airport and then flown to Kigali, before being taken to Akagera National Park. This significant translocation, described as the first of its scale, aims not only to secure a new habitat for the rhinos but also to foster population growth, with plans to eventually rewild over 2,000 rhinos in Africa.
The recent transportation of 70 southern white rhinos from South Africa to Rwanda marks a significant milestone in rewilding efforts, reflecting a commitment to conservation.
This initiative aims to eventually rewild over 2,000 rhinos, ensuring they thrive in managed protected areas across Africa, thereby restoring balance to their ecosystems.
