Rhino Reintroduction
and Breeding Program
Our prime objective is the reintroduction of
rhinoceros into Uganda. This program consists of three phases:
The first phase is to raise awareness about rhinos and to educate people
regarding their threatened status. To accomplish this goal, RFU imported
and relocated two rhinoceros to the Uganda Wildlife Education Centre
(UWEC) in Entebbe and welcomes visitors to our rhino
sanctuary daily. 
The second phase is breeding a sustainable rhino population at Ziwa Rhino
Sanctuary. We have had two births (June and October 2009) and are awaiting
a third. These are the first rhinos born in Uganda in over 25 years.
The third phase is the reintroduction of rhinos back into their original
habitat. When there is a sustainable population, rhinos will be relocated
into Uganda's protected areas including Murchison Falls National Park
and Kidepo Valley National Park.
