Uganda
used to be home to thousands of rhinos, but due
to extensive poaching during the years of civil
unrest, the last rhino was killed in 1982. Today,
with much effort and support, Rhino Fund Uganda
is working to reintroduce the rhinoceros to its
native lands.
There are three types of rhinos
in Africa- the Southern White, the Northern White,
and the Eastern Black. All of these species are
currently endangered. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is
currently home to six adult Southern White Rhinos
(Ceratotherium simum simum) and two baby boys.
