Government publishes new integrated plan to strengthen rhino conservation

# The minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Willie Aucamp, has announced a revised black and white rhino biodiversity management plan to strengthen rhino conservation in South Africa. The plan combines earlier strategies into one framework to improve coordination between the government, conservation groups, private landowners and communities. It’s intended to provide a more unified approach to protecting rhino populations, with implementation overseen by the department until a new national coordination committee is set up.
