Uganda reintroduced rhinos to Kidepo Valley National Park after a 43-year absence, aiming to restore populations decimated by poaching in the 1980s. The initiative targets ecological recovery but faces risks from ongoing poaching threats and potential gaps in wildlife protection infrastructure. Ecotourism and conservation efforts are primary beneficiaries of this initiative.
