Efforts to preserve the Indian rhino have been less succesful, largely owing to poachers in search of rhino horn for the Chinese market. While most remaining populations are in national parks or reserves, poaching continues at a rate which will exterminate the Indian Rhino in the wild long before the end of the century unless this hazard can be controlled.
