Chances of obtaining black rhino were enhanced by the 1987 rescue operation which was being heavily sponsored by WWF in the Zambezi Valley, where rhino were falling prey to poachers at the average rate of one per day, and here approximately 30 poachers had already been shot dead in anti-poaching skirmishes. As negotiations progressed, our allocation was dropped from 12 to six animals.
