A last chance to save the northern white rhino?

Abstract

The northern subspecies of white rhino Ceratotherium simum cottoni is very close to extinction. Probably fewer than 50 remain in the wild and only 13 are known in captivity. Garamba National Park in northern Zaire contains the only potentially viable group, of 15–20 individuals, and here there is a possibility of action to save them. © 1986, Fauna and Flora International.
