New Baby Black Rhino born on Phinda
June 2007
Another conservation first was celebrated at Phinda Private Game Reserve, South Africa in April 2007, with the first black rhino from the WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project conceived and born on the Reserve. This news caused much excitement, as the project's aim was to increase the number of endangered black rhinos living in the KwaZulu-Natal area by relocating animals to conservation areas. The proud mother was introduced to Phinda in 2004, and is the first member of the project to have conceived and given birth to a calf in her new home. The night before the birth, one of Phinda's staff members had a dream that the rhino had given birth, prompting him to go searching for the animal. To the delight of the entire team, the mother was found nursing her new calf.
The birth of this endangered animal is an incredibly proud moment for all at CC Africa, as we continue to break through conservation history!
