Abstract

Reaching a ‘tipping point’ is probably an overused phrase in the context of biodiversity conservation, running the risk of diluting its impact. Nonetheless, having recently returned from a wildlife reserve in South Africa’ s Bushveld, I believe that the global population of southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum , Figure 1 ) is rapidly approaching such a juncture.
