    The last of Uganda’s wild rhinos was killed in the early 1980s; the translocated animals come from a breeding program set up at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary in 2005.

    They were "extinct" in Uganda, not everywhere.

    It's mildly annoying that the media doesn't seem to know the word "extirpated."

    I mean, even if they know it very few other people do so it wouldn't really be a helpful headline that informs the public what the article is about...

    I appreciate you teaching me a new word though :)
