| Close monitoring of rhino numbers is essential to provide revised population estimates for the annual RMG report. According to Brooks (1989), the details of each monitoring programme vary according to the characteristics of the area, the existing population of black rhinos in that area, availabl... |

| The best way to accurately determine Sumatran rhino densities is extensive patrolling of a single, large study site over a long period of time. Only short time available. Unpredictable weather presented the biggest problem. The ground had to be wet enough so that we could find clear footprints... |
