Garamba was well protected after its creation in 1938 and the reported 100 rhinos that existed then had increased to an estimated 1000 to 3000 before Simba guerilla forces occupied the park in 1963. In 1972, Curry-Lindahl estimated that 900 to 1000 had been killed during the disturbances. With regained control of the park, numbers increased again and 490 were estimated to be present by an FAO aerial survey in 1976. Around 1978/81 another wave of poaching hit the park.
