Ten critically endangered black rhinos have been successfully moved from South Africa to Zinave National Park in Mozambique, marking a significant milestone for African animal conservation. After going extinct locally, the action is the first time black rhinos have been brought back to the area in more than 50 years.
The complex project, which involved five male and five female rhinos, was led by the Peace Parks Foundation, the National Administration for Conservation Areas (ANAC) of Mozambique, and Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife, the provincial conservation authority of South Africa.
South Africa’s Minister of Forestry, Fisheries, and the Environment, Dr. Dion George, declared, “This is a tremendous conservation milestone.” “Reintroducing black rhinos to Zinave is a sign of partnership and dedication to biodiversity in the region.” 
These ten rhinos have increased the park’s rhino population to 47, bolstering attempts to restore Zinave as a full-fledged national park of the “Big Five,” one of Mozambique’s most important ecological goals.
ANAC Director General Pejul Calenga stated, “This initiative is more than just a reintroduction; it’s the restoration of a legacy.” “We appreciate all of our partners and the South African government for helping us realize our objective.
It is anticipated that the project will serve regional conservation objectives, encourage tourism, and help maintain natural equilibrium. A significant step in halting the loss of biodiversity and advancing long-term sustainability in Southern Africa is the restoration of black rhinos, a species that is classified as critically endangered.
