The most numerous subspecies, the southern central D. b. minor occurs in six range states, of which South Africa with 1000 (68%) and Zimbabwe with 435 (30%) are by far the most important. Some Zimbabwe populations in particular continue to show rapid growth. Overall numbers have increased from 1298 in 1995 to 1363 in 1997 to 1467 in 1999. The recent invasions of Zimbabwean conservancies by war veterans is, however, a cause for concern.
