Reasons for Endangerment
Most of the time, rhinos sleep under trees. Now, they are to the point of extinction, because people are wiping out the trees on the savannahs. The rhinos are also being killed by some members of the cat family such as tigers and cheetahs. Pollution such as toxic waste and pesticide are on the grass, and when the rhinos eat grass, they die. The population is declining because of humans. Now, we must make up for it and try to help these animals live to see a brighter day.

Restoration Actions
As the rhinos are being hurt, some people are caring for these beautiful animals. A program in South Africa has made it illegal to hunt and kill the White rhinos. Some researchers are studying rhinos to see how humans can increase the population of these rhinos. Now, there are about 11,000 rhinos left in the wild.
