National Conservation Plan
At a meeting to discuss black rhinos in Zimbabwe in September 1985, the African Elephant and Rhino Specialist Group (AERSG) of IUCN agreed that all participating countries should draft a National Conservation Plan for the black rhino. The South African/Namibian plan sets out specific goals for black rhino conservation in the region and gives advice on necessary management and monitoring. This plan was adopted in 1989 by all the conservation departments in South Africa and Namibia which are responsible for looking after rhinos. The plan was designed to provide regional goals for the black rhino, as well as guidelines to facilitate their achievement. The primary goals of the plan are to develop, as rapidly as possible, and to conserve, in the long term, genetically viable populations of at least 2.000 Diceros bicornis minor and 2,000 D. b. bicornis in their natural habitats. and at least 100 D. b. michaeli in the wild in the region.
