The last of the Kenyan rhinos who were translocated has died.
A disastrous translocation organized by the government and WWF, has left all of the black rhinos dead and plenty of unanswered questions… lots of finger pointing and job terminations over alleged vet handling and ecological management (the rhinos were given water with too high a salt content in their new area). Hopefully a full inquiry will reveal what really happened as rumours abound.
There are only a few thousand critically endangered black rhinos on the planet. This is a disaster of epic proportions. Thank-you to the public for continuing to apply pressure for answers.
