The Selous Game Reserve is in the South East of Tanzania and is the largest protected area in Africa covering around 50,000 square km of pristine wilderness and was proclaimed a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1982. The Game Reserve currently contains 6% of the world's remaining black rhino populations. The population is significant because the Reserve is believed to hold an estimated 70% of Tanzania's remaining rhino population and this could be the last viable population in the Southern Tanzania.
FOC supports the Selous Black Rhino Protection Project (established in 1995), in the Selous National Park, under the co-ordination of Friedrich
Alpers.
