The world's Largest Rhino Farm in South Africa has been acquired by NGO African Parks to save the species from poaching. The 7,800-hectare Platinum Rhino farm, housing 2,000 white rhinos, was put up for auction by its founder, John Hume, due to high conservation costs. African Parks stepped in with support from the South African government and conservation groups to secure the future of the rhinos. The NGO plans to reintroduce farmed rhinos into the wild over the next ten years and gradually end the breeding project. South Africa is home to nearly 80% of the world's white rhino population.
