Seven teams, each assigned an area of 12-20 sq. miles to patrol over 10 days. [After survey] All 7 teams had found evidence of rhinos having been in their areas in the past, but only two found signs of recent activity. One of those had been dropped off in the most remote site of the study area, the other never left the research station. Evidence of 3 different rhinos were found at each of these sites. If this distribution was representative of the entire forest block, there could be as many as 23 rhinos scattered thoughout the 400 sq.miles. Every survey team found indications of human intrusion.
