This 2016 photo provided by African Parks shows a black rhino under protection in Malawi's Liwonde National Park, managed by African Parks in partnership with the Department of National Parks and Wildlife. In many African countries, wildlife tourism provides much of the money to maintain parks where vulnerable species such as elephants, lions, rhinos and giraffes live. But after the new coronavirus struck, “the entire international tourism sector basically closed down overnight in March”, said Peter Fearnhead, the CEO of nonprofit African Parks, which manages 17 national parks and protected areas in 11 countries.
