Akagera National ParkAkagera National Park has been managed by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) in partnership with African Parks since 2010. Together, we have transformed Akagera from a depleted landscape overrun by more than 30,000 cattle into an income-generating park for the benefit of people and wildlife. After practically eliminating poaching in just five years, lions were reintroduced in 2015, followed by black rhinos in 2017 and again in 2019 from European zoos, and white rhinos in 2021. Over the past decade, Akagera has become a leading example of a conservation-led economy where local communities are thriving as a result of the park's conservation efforts.
