Roth estimated a population of between 1000 and 1400 rhinoceros with the reservation that this was only a very rough estimate. Our total is roughly 740 rhinoceros, of which about 440 occur on National Land; this is also a very rough estimate and more of a second opinion. But the welfare and future of rhinoceros outside national areas is unpredictable and highly insecure, and we feel it is safer to err on the low side for a species that is rare both in this country and elsewhere.
