Government indifference to the plight of Africa's most fragile subspecies, D.b. longipes or the north-eastern black rhino, has allowed them to be exterminated within 10 years; populations have dropped from 3 000 to three in the Central African Republic and from 110 to 30 in Cameroon and have probably become extinct in Chad and Sudan.Wildlife administration has vanished during the civil wars in.Angola, Mozambique, Sudan, Chad, Ethiopia and Uganda, taking the rhino with it.
