70 South African white rhinos to be relocated to Rwanda

  • Rwanda’s largest national park revealed on Thursday that it will welcome a group of 70 white rhinos being relocated from South Africa before the end of this month to Akagera National Park.
  • The transfer responds to historical declines caused by hunting and a recent poaching epidemic that killed at least 586 rhinos in Africa during 2023.
  • The white rhinos, which can weigh up to two tonnes, will travel about 3,400 kilometers to support population growth and establish a breeding stronghold in Rwanda.
  • The park described this occasion as an important achievement for rhino conservation and highlighted the combined dedication to safeguarding and responsibly overseeing Akagera National Park.
  • This transfer reflects ongoing conservation efforts amid rising poaching and positions Rwanda as an emerging safari destination with a growing white rhino population.
