| Forty of the 2,000 southern white rhinos that were rescued from the world's largest captive rhino breeding operation in South Africa last year have been rehomed in the wild. | |
| The rhinos were relocated to the Munywana Conservancy, a 30,000-hectare (74,131-acre) reserve in the Zululand region of South Africa's KwaZulu Natal province, the conservation charity African Parks said on Thursday. | |
| They are the first batch of the rescued rhinos to be released in the wild, in a 10-year project to rewild the animals into secure protected areas across Africa. | |
| The project is one of the largest continent-wide rewilding programmes undertaken for any species. | |
| African Parks bought the financially struggling 7,800-hectare (19,000-acre) rhino farm, known as Platinum Rhino, in South Africa's North West province last September, after owner John Hume put it up for sale in April. | |
| Rhinos, the second-largest land mammal, are considered to be under extreme pressure due to poaching. | |
| There are thought to be 18,000 southern white rhino left. They are classified as a near-threatened subspecies. | |
