These rhinos are spread over private and state land, with 90 percent of the population in the Lowveld conservancies.

Poaching gangs still operate in Zimbabwe - 51 rhinos were lost to these organized criminals in 2018. Several arrests resulted in significant sentences - two poachers were sentenced to 10 years in jail and another to 12 years. Our partner, the Lowveld Rhino Trust, strives to strengthen coordination with law enforcement agencies to keep such cases under scrutiny and to draw attention to weak prosecution efforts.
