Title
Africa's elephants and rhinos: Flagships in crisis
Author(s)
Western D.
Published
1987
Publisher
Trends in Ecology and Evolution
Abstract
Despite extensive conservation measures over the last two decades, populations of elephants and rhinos in Africa continue to decline. The plight of the black rhino is especially acute. Poaching for rhino horn and ivory, rather than habitat loss, remains the principal threat to these species. The only long-term hope may lie in the effective protection of small, isolated populations. © 1987.
