Rhino numbers are up a bit, but poaching has increased, too

A rhino and its calf, on the Red List of Threatened Species according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature, are seen at Nairobi National Park, on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, Sept. 18, 2024.

The rhino population around the world has increased slightly but so have the killings, mostly in South Africa, as poaching fed by huge demand for rhino horns remains a top threat, conservationists said in a recent report.
