SA National Parks has announced the successful completion of the first phase of the Strategic RhinoTranslocation Programme from the Kruger National Park.
SANPARKS says that in terms of the programme, a number of rhino are being moved out of poaching hot-spots in the Kruger National Park to safer destinations either inside the Park or outside the Park.
In the last two months, 29 rhinos have been moved from hot-spots to safer areas within the Park. Seventeen of these animals had been fitted with tracking devices and none of the rhino trans-located have thus far been poached.
Several have also been moved to other national parks and reserves, which have better security facilities.
