The survival of the rhino is on the agenda of the 19th meeting of the International Conference on Endangered Species (CITES), to be held in November 2022 in Panama. In the run-up to this event, a recent IUCN report indicates that poaching of African rhinos will decrease by 1.6% between 2018 and 2021. Despite this rate steadily decreasing from a peak of 5.3% in 2015, IUCN continues to warn of the plight of Africa’s rhinos.
