Abstract:

Die Internasionale Renosterstigting (IRF) het sy jaarverslag oor die toestand van renosterbevolkings wêreldwyd gepubliseer en Namibië is geïdentifiseer as die land met die grootste witrenosterbevolking. Die situasie van renosters in Afrika en oor die hele wêreld is egter kommerwekkend. Die aantal witrenosters op die Afrikavasteland het die afgelope jaar weens stropery afgeneem. Met 'n huidige bevolking van ongeveer 18 000, het dié getal die afgelope dekade met 12% afgeneem.

The International Rhino Foundation (IRF) has published its annual report on the state of rhino populations worldwide and Namibia has been identified as the country with the largest white rhino population. However, the situation of rhinos in Africa and around the world is worrying. The number of white rhinos on the African continent has decreased over the past year due to poaching. With a current population of about 18,000, that number has declined by 12% over the past decade.
