New hope for rare rhinos
The Northern White Rhino is the world’s rarest large mammal. Only eight of these giants are still known to be alive – and all of them are kept in captivity.
In order to foster a much-needed breeding programme, DHL helped to transport four of these rare creatures, two males and two females, from a Czech zoo to a Kenyan game reserve. Due to the animals’ conservancy status as well as stringent customs and veterinary regulations, all personnel, trucks and lifting equipment required special clearance and documentation.
Joining forces for this particular mission, DHL Supply Chain and DHL Global Forwarding ensured the safe transit of their charges by air and road to their final destination, the Ol Pejeta conservancy, where the four rhinos will hopefully reproduce and save their species from extinction.
