Ugandan wildlife authorities have reintroduced rhinos into a remote protected area where they were once poached into extinction, an event seen by conservationists as a milestone in efforts to support the recovery of a species threatened by poaching.

In a historic moment, rhinos are released back into the wild at Kidepo Valley National park in Uganda. Global Conservation is on-site on behalf of the Uganda Conservation Foundation, which supports the Uganda Wildlife Authority to protect Uganda’s wildlife and stunning landscape. Global Conservation has been funding parks across Uganda for over seven years; this event is a massive day for rhinos and everyone involved.
