| Based on Iain Douglas-Hamilton's (pers. comm.) recent re-analysis of Markus Borner's 1983 Selous census (see page 18), there may be reason to suspect that this vast reserve has lost up to three-quarters of its rhinos since Douglas-Hamilton's 1976 survey, |

| We estimate that in 1984 there are 8-9,000 black rhinos, about 3,920 southern white rhinos and near to 20 northern white rhinos.

| By using Groves' (1967) classification of black rhino subspecies and their geographic distribution, we can get some idea of how the seven recognized races have fared (Table 2). The three subspecies occupying the northern-most range, ladoensis, brucii and longipes, have virtually been exterminate... |
