However, we can look at estimates:
* According to the World Wildlife Fund (WWF): There are less than 18,000 white rhinoceros left in the wild.
* The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List: The most recent assessment (2021) lists the Southern White Rhinoceros as near threatened with an estimated population of 18,000 - 21,000. The Northern White Rhinoceros is critically endangered and only two females remain.
It's crucial to remember that these are estimates and the actual numbers could be higher or lower. The situation is constantly evolving, and we need to continue monitoring the population and supporting conservation efforts to protect this magnificent species.
