# Seventy southern white rhinos from South Africa’s Munywana Conservancy have been successfully relocated to Rwanda’s Akagera National Park. The move was part of a strategic ten-year plan to rewild rhinos to safe, suitable and well-managed protected areas of Africa. The rhinos represent around 15-percent of the world’s total population of white rhinos. The African Parks’ Rhino Rewild Initiative aims to disperse the animals to safe, well-managed protected areas across the continent, bolstering existing populations.
