The decline of elephant and black rhinoceros in Ethiopia

Abstract
From the authors' review of the mammals of Ethiopia, undertaken during the last 14 years, it is clear that Ethiopia's elephants and rhinoceroses have suffered massive declines since the beginning of the century. There are perhaps 9000 elephants left, but poaching for ivory and agricultural encroachment continue to threaten them, and only a few rhinoceroses still survive. Ethiopia has limited resources to protect these remaining animals, and needs help and encouragement from outside its boundaries.
