In Uganda, next to Murchison Falls National Park, there is a sanctuary for the endangered rhinos called Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. In the Nakasongola district, Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary is close to Nakitoma Village. Nakasongola is situated along the Kampala-Gulu highway in Uganda's cattle corridor. A 2-meter-high electric fence surrounds the sanctuary, which is located on a 70 square kilometer parcel of land and serves primarily to keep poachers away from the rhinos. Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary Many national parks in Uganda once housed large populations of rhinos, but these animals are now in risk of extinction mostly because of poaching for their horns and human encroachment on their habitats. Under the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), the government established the Rhino fund in 2005. To assure their protection at Ziwa, where they breed rhinos, a sanctuary was created, and the endangered rhinos were reintroduced. When their numbers rise, they will be moved to other national parks. Beginning with six Southern white rhinos, the Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary now boasts 22 of these animals. The Ziwa rhino sanctuary is the only other location in Uganda where the majestic rhinos are found, besides the Uganda Wildlife Education Center in Entebbe. Visitors can follow rhinos on foot in this natural habitat. In order to maintain the protection and well-being of the rhinos, the sanctuary employs 78 qualified and competent park rangers and security guards. These staff members also help tourists go rhino tracking by giving them any required information and ensuring their safety. Many bird species, as well as other creatures like the stunning monitor lizards, chameleons, antelopes, hippos, monkeys, and crocodiles, among others, can be found at the Ziwa rhino sanctuary. In Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary, rhinos have a place to flourish and be preserved for future generations. To ensure that they continue to be a part
