The seventh black rhino population established by the WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project was recently released after an epic 1,500 kilometre trip across the country. 19 of the critically endangered animals were moved from the Eastern Cape to a new location in Limpopo province.
The WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project aims to increase the range and numbers of black rhino in South Africa, and has created seven significant black rhino populations in eight years. Close to 120 black rhino have been translocated to date.
