Rhino Re-Establishment
Purpose

The eastern black rhino is critically endangered. While conservation efforts have led to modest recovery, the global population remains relatively low. Without sustained, targeted protection, the subspecies faces extinction driven by habitat loss and intense poaching pressure. 

Translocations
Refusing to accept a future without this iconic species, Grumeti Fund, alongside the Tanzanian government and partners, have reintroduced the eastern black rhino into the western Serengeti, where they were once locally extinct.
By translocating rhinos from wild and managed populations, the project is building a genetically diverse, self-sustaining population, and is already seeing meaningful success.
Rhino Tracking & Protection

The Grumeti Fund and the Tanzanian government safeguard reintroduced eastern black rhinos through a combination of advanced tracking technology and dedicated field teams. Together, they closely monitor the growing population as it reclaims the western Serengeti as part of their native range.
