Happily, the proclamation and protection of these Natal reserves, coupled with the development of rhino capture techniques, led to both species being saved from extinction in South Africa. To date a staggering 3 440 white and 185 black rhinoceros have been translocated from Natal reserves to form new populations both in the Subregion and abroad (Meiklejohn & Strauss, pers. comm.). Similar action with the black rhinoceros has been taken by other National Parks organisations in the Subregion.
