Rhinos back in Rwanda

Five critically endangered eastern black rhinos from wildlife parks in three European countries are ready to be transported back to their natural habitat in Rwanda, where the entire rhino population was wiped out during the genocide in the 1990s. Officials from the Czech Republic’s Dvur Kralove zoo said the three female and two male rhinos have been slowly trained to get used to custommade transport boxes to take them to Akagera National Park in eastern Rwanda. When they get to Rwanda, the rhinos will undergo a lengthy process of adaption before they will be allowed to join 18 eastern black rhinos that were transported to the park from South Africa in 2017.
