Diceros bicornis has been eliminated from much of the west and south-west of Kenya by spread of settlement and cultivation. It has also been eliminated from or greatly reduced in N.E. Kenya and much of the Rift Valley by poaching. In south and SE Kenya poaching and severe droyght have effected a great reduction in numbers. Any lessening of the present degree of control of poaching would be likely to result in the rapid elimination of the species from all but a few parts of its range in Kenya.
