Communal conservancies in the Kunene Region, in the northwest of Namibia, will now become home to several black rhinos.

For the next two weeks, starting today if the weather permits it, these rhinos will be relocated from state land. They will be airlifted one by one in a cargo net because their new home is not accessible by road.

Most free-roaming black rhinos are found in Namibia and because poaching activity are increasing, the number of rhinos being relocated and the exact site is not known.

According to a source, the rhinos will be monitored through transmitters. This is a welcome wildlife boost. It confirms the success of community-based natural resource management, as this new location has no former conservation status.

The black rhinos in the Kunene are desert-adapted and the only rhinos that have survived on communal land, except for those in national reserve. This population of black rhinos are also one of few populations that are increasing at a steady pace.
