RHINO MISSION AND WORKSHOP
National Plan for the Conservation of the Black
Rhinoceros was drawn up as a result of a WWFfunded workshop
held in Garoua in June 1993. The plan's objectives are the selection
of a suitable site for the relocation and consolidation of the
species population and implementation of the necessary relocation.
It also envisages collection of information on the biology, ecology
and behaviour of the subspecies to ensure sound management. The
plan, moreover, seeks to maintain a protected rhino sanctuary.
Population surveys are already underway.
