.Rhinoceros in Zambia.
…

Zambia’s rhino population has faced significant challenges over the years. Roughly 40 years ago, Zambia had one of Africa’s highest rhino populations, with about 4,000 rhinos in the Luangwa Valley region. However, due to rampant poaching, rhinos were declared extinct in Zambia by 1998.

Despite this loss, efforts have been made to reintroduce rhinos to Zambia. The North Luangwa Conservation Program (NLCP) has successfully reintroduced a population of black rhinos into North Luangwa National Park. Since 2003, the NLCP has managed to reintroduce 34 black rhinos into the park. Black rhinos are particularly at risk of extinction due to the demand for rhino horn and poaching across Southern Africa.

The North Luangwa National Park is home to Zambia’s only population of black rhinos. The park is one of the last open and intact ecosystems in Africa, spanning 4,500 square kilometers. The NLCP employs various tactics to protect the rhinos, including special intelligence-based protection units, skilled rangers, ecological data monitoring, canine units, and even monitoring by aircraft.

The hope is that the NLCP will expand its efforts to reintroduce rhinos to other areas in Zambia, such as South Luangwa and Kafue National Park. For now, Zambia’s rhino population remains constrained to North Luangwa, where there are no permanent tourism camps, roads, or tourism infrastructure.
