Founded in 1946, Dvur Kralove Zoo has specialised in keeping and breeding African wildlife since 1960s. Dvur Kralove Zoo is the world's most successful breeder of giraffes, a number of antelope and zebra species and African wild dogs, as well as black rhinoceroses. In addition, the zoo is the only zoo where northern white rhinos have been born and raised in captivity successfully. The zoo has returned over 100 Cape buffalos, several dozens of roan antelopes and multiple sable antelopes, scimitar-horned oryxes and addaxes back to the wild. In May 2009, they reintroduced three black rhinos to Mkomazi National Park, Tanzania. With 47 rhinos of three species and four subspecies, Dvur Kralove Zoo follows San Diego Wild Animal Park in terms of numbers of rhinos held and bred in captivity. 
Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) (www.kws.org)
The Kenya Wildlife Service is a state corporation charged with the responsibility of conserving and managing wildlife resources within and outside protected areas in collaboration with stakeholders. It is our goal to work with others to conserve, protect and sustainably manage wildlife resources. The community wildlife program of KWS in collaboration with others encourages biodiversity conservation by communities living on land essential to wildlife, such as wildlife corridors and dispersal lands outside parks and reserves. The premise is that if people benefit from wildlife and other natural resources, then they will take care of these resources.
