Some good news - the five rhinoceroses that were flown 6,000 km from the Czech Republic yesterday, Sunday June 23rd, have touched down in Kigali, Rwanda and been successfully released into their bomas (wooden enclosures),
This exciting initiative which was announced just last Thursday involves a unique collaboration among the Government of Rwanda, the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) and African Parks to show how captive rhinos can help supplement and repopulate wild populations within secure landscapes.
