clippers remarks: Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary was established in 1997 to reintroduce the rhinoceros into Uganda. The rhinos are protected by an electric fence that surrounds the sanctuary, as well as rangers and askaris who are with the rhinos 24 hours day.

Rhino calf Augustu, the second rhino calf born at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary after 25+ years of extinction in Uganda.

Good news from Uganda: Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary has welcomed a third baby rhino!


2010 is off to a promising start at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, where a white rhino calf was born on January 2 - the third baby rhino following more than 25 years of regional extinction.


We are excited about the birth and the prospects it will bring to the sanctuary.

We have three adult males and three females as well as two baby males born last year.


In 2009?s historic rhino birth at the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, the first baby rhino was named Obama, after U.S. President Barack Obama. The second calf was also a male, Augustu (pictured above).


Southern white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum) have been extinct in Uganda since 1982, when the last one was murdered by poachers. Sadly, organized rhino poaching syndicates are still operating throughout Africa, fueled and funded by insatiable Asian demands (notably China and Vietnam) for illegal rhino horn.
