In addition to poaching, another reason for the decline of the black rhino is the rapid growth in the human population. At around 4 per cent per annum Kenya, for example, has one of the highest growth rates in the world. With increasing reclamation of land for farming and demand for wood as fuel and building material, the rhino's distribution has shrunk dramatically.
