The number of the Black rhinos has been severely decimated bv intensive hunting in past decades by both the Europeans and the natives. Many early travellers (e.g. Baker, Heuglin, Brehm, Marno) state that they were comparatively numerous in the northeastern part of the Sudan near the Aethiopian-Eritrean border, towards the end of the last century. Today it has completely disappeared from these districts.
