The recovery of the white rhinoceros from just a few dozen individuals in the 19th century to the several thousand animals alive today is recognised as one of the greatest conservation success stories of a large mammal. However, unsustainable poaching losses fuelled by an increased demand for horn are beginning to erase this progress.

In this talk, Dr Samuel Penny discusses the conservation history of the white rhinoceros, his experiences studying the species in the field, and the actions that reserves are taking to safeguard their future.
