Book synopsis

This book represents the culmination of more than four years of work by many rhino experts, primarily from Africa, Asia, the United States, and Europe, involved in rhino conservation, research and management. It is one of the most comprehensive reference works ever published on the systematics, ecology, conservation status, and management of all rhinoceros species.

Covering all five rhino species worldwide, this volume brings together the contributions of 92 international rhino experts and provides:

• A comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on the evolution, phylogeny, systematics, and fossil record of rhinos
• An in-depth look at the ecology and conservation status of each species, with detailed chapters
• A series of case studies on conservation management, poaching, horn trade, and ex-situ programs.

This beautifully illustrated book is an invaluable resource for researchers, wildlife managers and professionals in conservation biology, ecology, and management, as well as the general public. It reveals the fascinating story of rhino evolution, the long history of human interactions with rhinos, and the major threats to these iconic species.
