On 22 September 2025, Uganda made history by hosting its first-ever Rhino Naming & Friending Ceremony at Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary. The event marked a milestone in conservation, celebrating the naming of 17 rhino calves and juveniles (2021–2024) under the Name a Rhino campaign—a five-year initiative aiming to raise USD 11 million to expand habitats, strengthen anti-poaching, fund veterinary care, and support future reintroductions to protected areas such as Ajai Wildlife Reserve.
