'Rhinoceros populations are beginning to rebound in the species' native home of
Zimbabwe, a sign that efforts to preserve the species are working, according to
animal conservationists.
The rhino population in Zimbabwe has surpassed more than 1,000 animals for the
first time in more than 30 years, according to the International Union for
Conservation of Nature Species Survival Commission's African Rhino Specialist
Group. This includes 614 black and 415 white rhinos, listed as critically
endangered and near threatened on the IUCN's Red List of Threatened Species,
respectively.
Dedicated conservationists continue to persevere in protecting the country’s
rhinos "with great success," despite soaring costs for food and fuel, according
to the International Rhino Foundation, which was founded 31 years ago amid a
poaching crisis.
The populations have thrived due to intensive protection, monitoring and
management of these animals, Christpher Whitlatch, spokesperson for the
International Rhino Foundation, told
ABC News.'
