The Howard G. Buffett Foundation, a private foundation in the United
States, the Nature Conservation Trust, a South African public benefit
organization and South African National Parks announced an historic R255
million (US$23.7 million), three-year initiative to combat rhino
poaching in Kruger National Park and test anti-poaching tactics that can
be applied in other regions of Africa.
The effort in Kruger will create an Intensive Protection Zone (IPZ)
using sophisticated detection and tracking equipment and infrastructure
on the ground and in the air, elite canine units and highly-trained
ranger teams and improved intelligence gathering and observation and
surveillance systems.
Total No of Rhinos slaughtered in South Africa to End of December 2021 = 451 Official figures. Note: the number of wild rhinos in Kruger has declined from 3,500 to 2,800 in one year.
