Considerable depletion of wild life took place in the Rserve during and since the last war until about 1956, anti-government elements have made protective control by the Forest Department impossible. From local evidence it seems that since about 1940 at least 17 rhinos have been killed. This figure may represent only a part of the total destruction.
