Rhino to be taken 16,000km to safety
“The last Sumatran rhino in the Western Hemisphere began a journey...from the Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio to its ancestral southeast Asian homeland on a mission to help preserve the critically endangered species. The 8 yr. old male, Harapan, will make an air, land, & sea trip of more than 16,000 km. Including stops, the journey is expected to take some 50 hours before the rhino reaches an Indonesian sanctuary. Conservationists hope Harapan can mate with 1 or more of the 3 females in the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary in Way Kambas National Park.”
