Kenyan park restocked with game Aug 22 2007

Kenya’s Meru National Park, ravaged by poachers in the 1970s, is nearing the completion of an ambitious restocking programme which has seen the relocation of elephants, rhinos and zebras, among other species.

The 870km square (541mi square) reserve in the Eastern Province of the East African country is perhaps best known for the work of conservationists Joy and George Adamson. Joy Adamson’s 1960 classic Born Free, about an orphaned lion cub, was based on her experiences in Meru. The park is now home to the rare black rhino, and Grevy’’s zebra.
