Selected Papers from the Rhinoceros Conservation Workshop, Skukuza, Kruger National Park, 31 August - 4 September 1988 The conservation plan for the black rhinoceros presents specific aims and management guidelines for the conservation of the African black rhinoceros Diceros bicomis in the Republic of South Africa, the TBVC states and Namibia. The adoption of this plan, and the application of the strategies described therein (managing existing populations, establishing new populations and aspects of captive breeding) by the relevant conservation authorities should enhance the survival prospects of this species, both in the region and globally.
