Notably, the population (in the wild) was predicted to go extinct around 2023 under present management (business as usual). Still, “the story isn’t over yet,” says the International Rhino Foundation. A team of international researchers finally managed to count the remaining Javan Rhino to 62 individual animals by using latest technology of camera traps. northern white rhinoceros, ( Ceratotherium simum cottoni ), also called square-lipped rhinoceros, critically endangered subspecies of the white rhinoceros and the most endangered animal on Earth. Populations of white rhino have recovered from an all-time low of around 100 in 1895 to the current wild population of 15,942 and the species is now classified. The word 'rhino' derives from an Africaans (West Germanic language) word, translated. An alternative name for this species is the 'Square-lipped rhinoceros', referring to the hairless, square upper lip of the animal. ![]() Since then, the one-horned rhino has made a remarkable comeback thanks to conservationists. But to have precise numbers of population at hands is crucial to approach the problem of possible threats of extinction to authorities in order to raise awareness and to ring alarm bells. The White rhino (Ceratotherium simum) is the second-largest mammal in the world. They came close to extinction at the start of the 20th century, with only about 200 greater one-horned rhinos existing in the wild, according to the World Wildlife Fund. The species, listed as vulnerable by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, is targeted by poachers for their horns. The population of white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) is now declining in the Kruger National Park (KNP) in South Africa due to the intense poaching crisis ongoing since the early 2000s. Both governments have implemented measures to protect the animals’ habitats to give “rhinos the space they need to breed” and to combat poaching. In addition to the pandemic, the International Rhino Foundation credits the governments of India and Nepal for helping grow the rhinos’ populations. With fewer visitors to disturb their habitats, the rhinos were able to flourish, Nepali conservationists said at the conclusion of Nepal’s rhino survey. The rhinoceros population in Nepal also increased during the pandemic, growing by more than 100 between 20.
