Black rhinos have increased to 6,788 from the last count of 6,195 in 2022. The number of Indonesia's Javan rhinos has dropped due to poaching. By the end of 2024, the number of white rhinos in Africa dropped to 15,752, down from 17,464 in 2023. Greater one-horned rhinos have been making use of improved habitats and wildlife corridors, and their numbers have increased to 4,075 from 4,014 in 2022. Median rhino populations in South Africa are well below numbers recommended by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) African Rhino Specialist Group, meaning that many rhino populations are too small to be considered reproductively and genetically viable. A new tracking tool could help monitor rhinos whose horns were trimmed to deter poaching.
