WildLandscapes International is proud to be part of an ambitious effort to bring rhinos back to Uganda. Decades ago, black rhinos roamed Kidepo Valley National Park, but poaching and political unrest drove them to extinction. Today, thanks to the leadership of Uganda Wildlife Authority, the Uganda Conservation Foundation, and Northern Rangelands Trust, this vision is becoming a reality.
The construction of a 17,050-acre fenced sanctuary in the Narus Valley is already underway, marking a significant milestone in reintroducing rhinos to the park. The project will see the phased introduction of twenty white and 20 black rhinos. With robust security measures, real-time monitoring, and disease management protocols in place, the sanctuary will provide a safe space for rhinos to adapt and thrive before their eventual release into the wider park.
