Rhino Species Breakdown - from http://www.guardian.co.uk
There are five species of rhinoceros, all of which have been pushed to the brink by loss of habitat and by poachers who kill them for their horns. Follow this link to find out how the Wilderness Foundation is assisting in the fight against rhino poaching.

Exists as two sub-species: the southern white lives mostly in South Africa and numbers around 15,000; whereas only seven northern whites survive (including a calf born at a Czech zoo in 2000, pictured right) and may even be extinct in the wild.
