Black rhinos(Diceros bicornis minor) rehabilitation in progress

Rehabilitation of critically endangered Black rhinos (Diceros bicornis minor) is progressing well in South Africa. Four Rhinos were airlifted recently from Hluhluwe Reserve, to form part of founder population of 20 animals for Ezemvelo Black rhino range expansion project. They will be realeased in to Zululand Rhino Reserve. Black Rhino, once the most numerous Rhino species’ in the world, became critically endangered following a wave of poaching in 70s and 80s.
