No wild black rhinos remain in West Africa, according to the latest global assessment of threatened species.
The Red List, drawn up by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), has declared the subspecies extinct.
A subspecies of white rhino in central Africa is also listed as possibly extinct, the organisation says.

.. Theresa, Fight, Fight and Fight again.
... Madam Home Secretary, please do not let these saboteurs get the best of you, for those that have the time to scour the minutia of this attack will say this is not fair, either on you personally or us ,for years we have had to put up with a slightly awkward Minister in your Office until you arrived, the balance you bring to this rapidly fluctuating job is remarkable and not in my time have I seen a scenario where we need a sensible balanced Solomon approach to the job of keeping us safe on our own streets than right now in this moment in history and you do just that with remarkable clarity if you trusted someone who should have known better then that's a learning curve a deeply hurt full lesson I grant your but a learning curve it is, and we the electorate should know who turned .
Fight them off Theresa we are getting mobilised now, we see your wake and Justice and Fairness will be along side both port and starboard before you know it.
We are not going into this social disarray without you.
Giving you the post in the first place was inspired and that is now proving to be even more so as events unfold.
Some would like to see Blood on the streets but that does not include Our Home Secretary Theresa May.

#3 - Thu Nov 10, 2011 6:36 AM ESTRhinos of any type won't be around much longer. Vietnam recently added the Jovan Rhino on their extinction list. Maybe something should be done to educate these stupid a$$ villagers that are poaching then selling the horns. The last two in Vietnam were found because the mother was tagged. They got there and they killed the tagged mother and cut her horn off and killed the 2 month old baby and took it's horn too.

It wouldn't make a bit of difference. Look at how easily so many in the U.S. ignore the mounds of science and education regarding climatology and instead favor mythology, rumor, and what they even KNOW to be outright lies for the sake of profit. So much more the case where it may be a matter of personal survival to reap the profits of ill-gotten gain. Tell a starving village not to eat the tasty but endangered animal and they'll be out on a hunt for it the next day.
That's the thing they aren't eating them. They chop the horn off and that's it. If villagers were using these animals for food I would have a different opinion but they aren't.
