Khama Rhino Sanctuary

In 1989, out of concern over rhino poaching, residents from Serowe established a wildlife reserve with the support of Ian Khama. The Sanctuary is home to other wildlife which have settled naturally or been translocated in. The main conservation project undertaken by Khama Rhino Sanctuary is the rhino breeding program. The Sanctuary's website reports that its long-term goal is to "create an environment in which Black and White Rhino[s] can breed safely" and to reintroduce them into their natural habitats. After nearly 30 years of Khama being a safe haven, however, two white rhinos were reported by the Botswana Department of Wildlife and National Parks to have been killed by poachers posing as visitors in 2022; the sanctuary denies it was on their property. ==External links==
