The rehabilitation and increase in numbers of black rhino has been entirely due to the strict and permanent control to which it was subjected. At present its numbers are increasing.

Diceros bicornis was still present in the north of the Ivory Coast and in the Niger province until just after the arrival of the European.

I do not believe that since 1934, the first year that absolute protection was accorded this species, more than 25 have been illegally killed in AEF, of which at least half were killed in the reserves themselves during the war.
Ceratotherium simum used to be spread from the Sudan westwards right up to Lake Chad in all regions suitable to its existence: vast grassy plains but slightly bushed, but always slightly humid, mostly situated between 13 and 9 degrees north, but extending beyond these latitudes in places.
Since 1900, it does not seem to have been met with anywhere than in the SE of the Tchad district and in the NE of Oubangui Chari, mostly along the Aouk River. In the course of time it was annihilated even here and since 1931 it has not been possible to find a single specimen or even traces of one.
The greatest numbers are located in the reserves of North-central Oubangui-Chari, i.e. Yassa, Miamere, Bamingui, Koukourou, Gribingui, where they are protected fairly effectively.

There are indications which allow one to hope that it is present (perhaps as a reintroduction from the Sudan) in the upper Kotto and upper Chinko, ie. In the basin of the Upper Ubangui between latitudes 9 and 6 degrees north. But this has not yet been confirmed, at the moment these zones are not controlled or closed to hunting.
