"Environmental history was made on Friday 7 June 2024 when the last of 120
white rhinos was released into the network of private and communal reserves on
the western border of the Kruger National Park. The operation was carried out
under a strict veil of secrecy to ensure its security.
It has been over 15 years since the poaching crisis first hit Greater Kruger,
when heightened demand for rhino horn in Asian markets sparked an unprecedented
onslaught on the world’s largest rhino population.
It has been impossible to quantify the destruction of the crisis — on rhino
populations and ecosystems, but above all, on the hearts, minds and morale of
people who’ve had to witness its brutality day in and out.
Yet today, Friday 7 June 2024, we celebrate an unexpected milestone amid
significant anti-poaching successes. Over the past few weeks, a historic
rewilding project has seen 120 southern white rhinos translocated to private
reserves along Kruger National Park’s western boundary. These rhinos have
arrived, marking a successful end to this translocation, which forms part of
African Parks’ Rhino Rewild initiative.
After such protracted devastation in this area, it is a remarkable sign of
positivity, progress and hope."
