The Black Rhino was poached terribly in the 1980s. In the decade before that, there were 20,000 of them living in the wild of Kenya. But that number has reduced to just 500.
But something great has happened. For the first time in more than 25 years, captive Black Rhinos have become wild Black Rhinos. It is a landmark in African wildlife conservation.
They were bred as part of a wildlife program to increase the population, and it has been so successful that it is the right time for this to happen.
As well as poaching, the numbers decreased because of habitat loss. I hope that these rhinos are able to thrive. It may take some time, but this is a step forward.
