Black rhino to be reintroduced in Chad

Conservation group plans to move five to 10 rhinos from South Africa, where poaching is on the rise, to Zakouma national park

The critically endangered black rhino is to return to Chad decades after it was last seen in the country as part of an ambitious relocation from South Africa, where it is under siege from poachers.

African Parks, a conservation organisation that recently reintroduced lions to Rwanda, intends to transport between five and 10 black rhinos to the Zakouma national park in Chad next year.
