Black Rhino

Between 1970 and 1992, 96% of the Black Rhino population was killed for their horns, used in traditional Chinese medicine and for dagger handles in Yemen. At the low point of the poaching, 2,400 animals remained across all of sub-Saharan Africa. Since then conservation efforts have allowed populations to rebound slighting, to a bit more than 3,000 individuals. However the animal remains critically endangered, and only intensive and active protection from poaching, sometimes in fenced reserves, allows the animal to survive.
