Game Capture

The translocation of the Black Rhino from the Kunene region to communal conservancies. 

Date: 20 July 2010               

Photographer: P. Beytell               

The black rhino is a specially protected species in Namibia. Because rhinos are such large and strong animals, they needed to be treated with great care and utmost respect – no chances were taken during the capture operations, which were carefully planned and professionally executed. This project was funded by the Millennium Challenge Account-Namibia (MCA-Namibia) and the World Wildlife Fund.
