Rwanda's New Times newspaper has reported that preparations are underway to enable Akagera National Park to receive an unspecified number of endangered Black Rhinos. Kenya and Tanzania have plans of relocating the rare species to neighbouring countries, and Wildlife Authorities within the EAC are considering relocating some of the 709 remaining Black Rhinos which predominantly live in Kenya and Tanzania, to other neighbouring states including Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi and Ethiopia in order to save them from extinction. It is estimated that if the animals are distributed across the region and given great attention, by 2039 they would have multiplied to a population of 3,000 Rhinos with minimal chances of extinction, according to reports.
