The aviation sector gained a boost of confidence as Uganda's unwavering commitment to conservation was emphasised by this monumental event.

The successful transportation of these rhinos reinforces the cardinal environment and policies created by the Ugandan government that have enabled private organisations to partake in initiatives meant to preserve its heritage and contribute to global conservation efforts. Bar’s successful operation underscores the rapid development and competence of Uganda’s aviation industry as such ventures are economically demanding operations that require precision execution.

The African Parks CEO Peter Fearnhead said: “Efforts to save the northern white Rhino was a case of ‘too little, too late’ and should never be allowed to happen again” and so Bar is ready to embark on this move since Garamba is a safe location and has proper protection.

As BAR’s CEO Barak Orland said: “This is an incredibly profound moment for us at BAR Aviation. Our team worked tirelessly over many months to make this dream into reality and we are delighted that we could be part of something so meaningful for both our country’s image abroad as well as for global conservation efforts.”
