A sighting that is by no means taken for granted. Rhinos in the Serengeti were extinct and, a little less than 20 years ago, a reintroduction project began with specimens from South Africa that belonged to the same subspecies that had previously grown in these territories. For about ten years they were isolated and monitored 24 hours a day in an area of Simiyu and then slowly moved them to the most central area of the Moru Kopjes where, seeing the photo, we assume that you photographed them.
Although the Moru Kopjes are in a fairly frequented and controlled area, 4/5 years ago (I don't remember exactly) in the days when you were on safari, poachers tried to kill some specimens and fortunately that, with night vision goggles, they confused them with innocent buffaloes.... Un avvistamento per nulla scontato. I rinoceronti nel Serengeti erano estinti e, poco meno di 20 anni fa iniziato un progetto di reintorduzione con esemplari provenienti dal Sud Africa che appartenevano alla stessa sottospecie che cpera prima su questi territori. Per una decina di anni sono stati isolati e controllati a vista 24 ore su 24 in un area appertata di Simiyu e poi piano piano li hanno spostati nella zona più centrale dei Moru Kopjes dove, vedendo a che la foto, presunmo che tu li abbia fotografati.
Nonostante i Moru Kopjes siano in una zona abbastanza frequentata e controllata, 4/5 anni fa ( non ricordo con precisione ) nei giorni in cui facevoi il safari, dei bracconieri hanno tentato di ucciderne alcuni esemplari e per fortuna che, con i visori notturni, li hanno confusi con degli incolpevoli bufali.... |

Hi Memy.
Unfortunately, the phenomenon of poaching, which in the period of Covid and fewer controls has taken on dimensions never seen before, has also spread to areas where it was absent, even private "game reserves" protected by armed guards.
Plans to reintroduce black rhinos where they once existed are not always successful. A few years ago I witnessed the final phase of a transfer of six donated specimens from South Africa to Chad (with great expenditure of resources and the use of a large Antonov for transport). A very expensive and complex operation that ended with the death of four of them a few weeks later.
The first time I was in Zambia, about ten years ago, there were only 17 rhinos left in a secret area protected by armed guards...
It's a very sad story.
Ciao Memy. Grazie per queste interessanti informazioni.
Purtroppo il fenomeno del bracconaggio, che nel periodo del Covid e dei minori controlli ha assunto dimensioni mai viste, si è allargato anche a zone in cui era assente, perfino “game reserves” private protette da guardie armate.
Progetti di reintrodurre rinoceronti neri dove un tempo esistevano non sempre hanno successo. Qualche anno fa ho assistito alla fase finale di un trasferimento di sei esemplari donati dal Sudafrica al Chad (con grande dispendio di risorse ed impiego di un grosso Antonov per il trasporto). Operazione costosissima e complessa finita con la morte di quattro di loro poche settimane dopo.
La prima volta che sono stata in Zambia, una decina di anni fa, di rinoceronti ne erano rimasti solo 17 in una zona segreta e protetta da guardie armate…
E' una storia molto triste.

Life is like that, you do what you can, but the most dangerous animal is always lurking.
Thanks for sharing.
Good evening my dear E' la vita che è così, si fa il possibile, ma l'animale più pericoloso è sempre in agguato.
Grazie della condivisione.
Buona serata mia cara |

The photo and the caption remind me of my only safari, a few years ago to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro where I saw fantastic animals but not the rhinoceros: then I experienced it as a sign that I should come back and I think that sooner or later I will. As always, non-trivial photos, full of stories and charm, a pleasure to find them every now and then in this gallery, open them, enjoy them and comment on them. Congratulations again Susy.
hi
Fabio La foto e la didascalia mi fanno venire in mente il mio unico safari, qualche anno fa proprio al Serengeti e al Ngorongoro in cui appunto ho visto fantastici animali ma il rinoceronte no: allora lo vissi come un segnale che sarei dovuto tornare e mi sa che prima o poi lo farò. Come sempre foto non banali, ricche di storie e fascino, un piacere ritrovarle ogni tanto in questa galleria, aprirle, gustarsele e commentarle. Ancora complimenti Susy.
ciao

Greetings. Susy
Fabio, it seems to me that the signal is clear... ;-) Grazie a tutti per i commenti, che apprezzo sempre. 
Un saluto. Susy
Fabio, mi sembra che il segnale sia chiaro…  |
