Major species in danger of disappearing over much of Rhodesia through lack of management include the black rhino. Black rhino are in a serious position because they are limited to a last stronghold along the northern Zambesi region where their habitat is deteriorating through overpopulation, among other factors. The parts of their range where they are protected from hunting in an effort to save them, such as the Mana Pools Game Reserve and the Chewore wilderness area, are the places where ironically they are in the gravest danger of killing themselves out and quite alarming numbers have been found dead over the last few years.
