Although African Parks is purchasing the entire breeding program, their goal is to eventually rewild these rhinos.
The project will take about a decade to complete.
This is one of the largest continent-wide rewilding endeavors to occur for any species.

A population of 2,000 privately owned white rhinos was put up for auction in April 2023.
