Re-introducing rhinos
BLACK RHINOS are back in Mkomazi National Park
After years of poaching brought about their extinction, a small population of eastern black rhinos has been reintroduced into Mkomazi National Park on Tanzania’s northern border. Some are being cared for in the park’s new rhino sanctuary, which it is hoped will provide a safe breeding environment and a new population of this critically endangered animal. Nature-loving Tanzanian filming and production company Ngoteya Wild, which loves to spread the word on conservation projects in the country, gained exclusive access to the sanctuary’s team and its crucial work. Here is their story. All images: Eliya Uzia, wildlife photographer at Ngoteya Wild airtanzania.co.tz / 33
